Here I am Just Taking It In

see the children playing in the park
from the sunrise through the day until it's dark
the sense of wonder in their eyes
is something I can empathize
here I am just... taking it in

couples walk hand in hand on a sunny beach
that warming touch always in reach
watching it all as the play unfolds
seeing love bloom so nice to behold
here I am just... taking it in

(chorus) Taking it in...
                  through a window of my own design
                  taking it in...
                  watching the world go by outside
                  taking it in...
                  through kaleidoscope eyes
                  taking it
                  taking it
                  taking it in

the trials of man chasing his tail
while dreamers still are filling their sails
hands are tied in a game this large
and you never know who's really in charge
and here I am just... taking it in
