Great opening song. Pulls willing people in with its catchy melody, although they might be turned off by Cripple Creek, if they're planning to listen to all of Oar. I think this song's saying that the answers lie in the hearts of children, the way children act, they're happy but they're searching too, for world peace. Spence's message isn't anything new, when you look at all the songs from this period, they have a pretty similar overall theme. But the way he delivers it is definitely original and distinctive.
