only the children remain innocent
while the world around them is corrupted

only the children can see the difference
between good and evil

only the children can fix the problems
the world has yet to solve

only the children will tell the honest truth
when all they hear is lies

only the children will follow their hearts
even if you try to lead them astray

only the children know what is wrong
with the imperfections in our lives

only the children will cry
when faced with injustice and hate

only the children will cower in fear
while listening to screaming and fighting

only the children will continue to smile
throughout the hardship and pain

only the children can change the future
only the children know how to change our path

this is a cry of help from the world
and only the children will hear
