The Innocent Youth

The things we do and say
Returns to haunt us each day
Its not us that have to pay
Our innocent youth,they fall prey
Watch all those that you cross
Maybe someday it'll be lost
In the grand scheme of things
You and me no one wins

Innocent
Free from hate
Inhabit-ate
Your free state
Innocent
Free from hate
Inhabit-ate
Your free state

Their futures an open book
Keep them safe from harm
Guide them along life's path
Instill trust, faith and hope
They did not ask to be born
Ensure all needs, fulfilled
From threads of our fabric torn
Leaders of tomorrow are spawned

As the days go by
The wisdom you have imparted
Seemed to have made a difference
Someday you will see
All grown up and matured
Right before our very eyes
The innocent youth
Now pave their own way

All hope lies with them
To steer us full steam ahead
Obliterate obstacles
That hinders you on your way
As we fade to dust
Returning to the earths' crust
The innocent youth of today
Please help us lead the way
