Verse #1
Father is looking for a son,
Someone he played with long ago
He’s flying his spaceship around the living room,
Where only the spirit of a child gets in

Verse #2
Mother is looking for a little girl,
Someone she played with long ago,
She’s hiding away in a little dollhouse,
Where only the spirit of a child gets in
Only the spirit of a child gets in

Bridge
I put all my dreams in a treasure box,
And got so busy that I lost the key,
Going to find some way to break those locks,
But only the Spirit of a child gets in
Only the Spirit of a child gets in

Verse #3
Heaven is a place inside my heart,
Making a home just for me,
I take all my troubles and knock on the door,
But only the spirit of a child gets in
Only the Spirit of a child gets in
Only the Spirit of a child gets in
Only the Spirit of a child gets in
