As a counselor, I use this song with people who are involved in inner child work. The person that was you as a small child is still there feeling its feelings - delighted, lonely, afraid, loving. This song is such a wonderful way to deepen the connection with that part of yourself. One way is to picture yourself as a small child in some situation that is familiar and sing it to him/her with sincerity in your heart. If this does not feel comfortable, then I don't make the person do it, but it has helped a lot of people. I use it myself in the same way, and it is beautiful. We all need to feel connected to something meaningful and understandable.
