Child in his eyes

[Question: Is this an Anti-Christian song? The lyrics...]
Child in his eyes song from Alegria, Cirque du Soleil


With perfomances from Cirque artist like a young Elena Lev, etc.

The Beautiful Lyrics:
If you think you've figured it out,
And if you think it's how it should be
Tell me why children suffer,
And then want to die

So much love, courage, knowledge and hope,
We still live, love, and do it in vain
And our fight for freedom is still the same,
The same ...

(Chorus)
If you look at the man with a child in his eyes,
The boy cries while the man wants to die
He gives up in the future,
Next thing he falls in love with a smile

And if you think you've figured it out,
Tell me, was it just chance,
Or did his heart choose?
And how can you know
When hearts are immune to the rules

If you think you've figured it out,
Tell me why an old man,
Must he be humbled so?
And why do I ask
When it's time for the mind to let go?

(Chorus 2x)

If you look at the man with a child in his eyes,
The boy laughs while the man wants to die
He's with find he's alive,
He loves one with no name who still smiles

(Repeat)

I've only just realised. The Lyrics....

Is this an Anti-Christian song?

[SPVE1980]

AMAZING SONG

[TheDarkKnight914]

I don't think its anti-christian and think it's a great song, great for the movie too...and the movie is the best underrated movie ever

[SakuraSetsume]

@imthedonna Actually it's "the boy laughs while the man wants to fly..." It's preceded with "look at the man with the LIFE in his eyes."

[PrismPhoenix]

[TheMysticalnymph]

Elena! My goodness, even as a child she looks amazing!

[OlaSunshine]

We sadly don't have Netfix where I live.

@dreamer110480 the original version had the lyrics you cited, but this version was obviously adapted for the film Alegria. And yes the boy laughs while the man wants to die in the film.

[imthedonna]

@OlaSunshine You can get it on Netflix Streaming. I just finished watching it and I plan to watch it again.

AlegriaCirque - your intro into this song makes me wonder whether you've actually watched this amazingly beautiful movie at all. This song has nothing to do with Christianity. It summarizes the plot to the movie. It is an amazing song made even more beautiful for those who have experienced the film.

@TheDarkKnight914 agree with you.. I really don't think that Kate Bush was thinking about anti-christian sentments when she wrote those lyrics at the young age of 13 in the mid 70's. This is the best version of song I have heard.. Sorry Kate... Irene Marc really does it justice.
