Cover art for The Child In Us lyrics by Enigma

The lyrics blend religious or spiritual references with personal emotions and relationships. They touch upon themes of divine presence, the arrival of a significant person, the reliance on them, and the enduring qualities of childlike wonder and innocence.

There's a mix of Sanskrit and English phrases. The Sanskrit describes a divine figure who is benevolent, bestows good fortune, and is adorned with precious ornaments. It presents an image of a powerful and compassionate entity. It then has a reference to biblical verses from Isaiah 9:6, which prophesy the birth of a child who will hold authority and bring about a new order.

The English parts talk about the arrival of someone special in the singer's life. The person is described metaphorically as both the rain and the sun, indicating that they bring different qualities and fulfill different needs for the singer. They talk about a deep emotional connection and reliance on the person being addressed. They are portrayed as the long-awaited dream and a source of light during dark times. The last line acknowledges the presence of a constant guiding force in their lives.

"It is the child in us" means that the sense of wonder, innocence, and openness associated with childhood remains within the singer and the person being addressed. It signifies a connection at a fundamental level, beyond superficial distinctions.
