Focus On the Child

When things get frantic and out of control
And children's cries are taking their toll
Look beyond the moment and we'll find
They're only begging for attention from us
And reassurance there'll always be enough
'Cause love to them is only a matter of time

In the middle of the circus
Lies a heart that's so worthwhile
We can focus on the circus
Or focus on the child

Life is made of choices we must make
For ourselves or for their sake
Either way, with them our time will quickly pass
Easy solutions one day we'll find
We may regret at some future time
Each word and every second we invest
Will last for all time

In the middle of the circus
Lies a heart that's so worthwhile
We can focus on the circus
Or focus on the child

As we're living in the midway
The noise distracts our view
As we buy tickets, toys and candy bars
The child cries out for You

In the middle of the circus
Lies a heart that's so worthwhile
We can focus on the circus
Or focus on that lovely child
