Sweet Children
Sweet Children
Children,
Sweet children:
The planet won't be yours,
only disaster's brink....
The elders used the guns
But left them in your hand--
The elders left you an earth
You'll never understand--
They ravaged all the forests
And left you barren land--
Where once stood golden castles
Now all there lies is sand....
Children,
Sweet children:
The world's not as promising
As they'll have you believe;
Children,
Sweet children:
The planet's full of lies,
It lives to deceive....
The elders drove the wedges
Between the black & white--
The elders pointed the fingers
And left you here to indict--
The elders left you an earth
That has given up the fight--
Where once stood towers of hope
Now lays the rubble of blight....
Children,
Sweet children:
The world won't care for you
As they vowed it would;
Children,
Sweet children:
The planet shirked its duty
You didn't know it could....
The elders built the walls
That blocked off the sky--
The elders left you an earth
And all the damage they deny--
They left behind many excuses
That they ask you to justify--
Where once was a book of answers
Now lies volumes of alibis....
