Cover Your Eyes Lyrics
Cover your eyes, and reach into your ears
Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything.
Add to your body, or take some away.
Cut it and fill it in, whatever it takes.
Ahh...
To be some sort of beautiful, phony and frightening.
Some sort of beautiful, phony and frightening.
Oh we must care for these little ones.
We must keep them safe from the horrible ideas
And the people who have them.
They're too young for wondering,
Too young for wishing to be something
Other than what they were meant to be.
Tell them they're beautiful, and perfectly placed.
Tell them they're beautiful, and perfectly placed.
Love and be loved, take air into your lungs.
And turn it into the most beautiful sound you can make.
Ahh, ahh...
Ahh...
Cover your eyes, and reach into your ears
Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything.
Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything.
Add to your body, or take some away.
Cut it and fill it in, whatever it takes.
Ahh...
To be some sort of beautiful, phony and frightening.
Some sort of beautiful, phony and frightening.
We must keep them safe from the horrible ideas
And the people who have them.
They're too young for wondering,
Too young for wishing to be something
Other than what they were meant to be.
Tell them they're beautiful, and perfectly placed.
Tell them they're beautiful, and perfectly placed.
And turn it into the most beautiful sound you can make.
Ahh, ahh...
Ahh...
Pull out what you've heard and replace it with anything.

It's about protecting childeren from things that they are too young to understand and also that they should be loved a cherished if you ask me. It's a really sweet and beautiful song.

I also think that this song may have been ispired by the love Michelle must have for her own children.

Yes two I think unless me reading it on wikipedia was a dream.
