Through The Eyes Of A Child, originally released simply as Through The Eyes, is one of three songs in a collection nicknamed "Lost Jem Songs" performed by Major Minor (Britta Phillips & Ned Liben). It was released as a single on vinyl in 1984 with an instrumental version on its B-side. It was considered lost until Britta uploaded the collection onto her husband's website, DeanWareham.com. This is one of the songs Britta recorded that helped her land the role of Jem on the show.[1]

Lyrics[]

Visions breeding from intuitions
I see the child inside
Trying not to die

And I know what I would be
If only I could see

I want to see (I am a child)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
I want to see (I am alive)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child

Fate has finally
Slammed the door on me
Searching for the key
It's all a mystery

Now I'm lost at sea
I know I'll never (know I'll never be)

I want to be, yeah (I am a child)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
I want to see (I am alive)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child

[Guitar solo]

I want to see (I am a child)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
I want to see (I am alive)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child

I want to see (I am a child)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
I want to see, yeah (I am alive)
I want to see through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
See through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of (through the eyes) of a child
