When I was a child, I thought they could do no wrong,
When I was a child, everyone seemed to get along.
When I was a child we were always together,
When I was a child, I thought it would last forever.
When I was a child, playing with my cousins was always fun,
When I was a child, my face always brightened by the beautiful sun.
When I was a child, I was young and free,
When I was a child, no pain or worries I could see.
When I was a child, I learned from my mistakes,
Now I am an adult, now my heart breaks.

Love was a child, so meek and so mild
Love was a child who smiled.
Love was a child who played with a toy train,
Love was a child who jumped in puddles in the rain.
Love was a child who laughed and played,
Love was a child God lovingly made.
Love is a child that God now holds,
Love is a child who will never grow old.
Love is a child we sorely miss,
Love is a child who Angels now kiss.

The children of tomorrow,
They are looking on for peace and hope,
They keep fixing the damage and the wars we had made.

The children of tomorrow,
They are praying to god for all of the good things,
They want this mess that we cause to be fixed.

The children of tomorrow,
They are on the floor bring knowing that they no hope,
They had lost the fight to get this problem that we had made.

The children of tomorrow,
They are gone carry on for us,
That is why we should think do we want this for them.

Give Love to the children Children need love everyday,
Give love to the children Guide them on their way,
Love’s like a burning flame consumes all that stands in the way.

Love is the only power on earth to take all the hatred away,
Give Love to the Children set the children free,
To make their own decisions then they will clearly see,
Love is the sun the moon and the stars love is a golden ring.

Love is the one thing the whole world desires be it beggar or king,
Give Love to the Children youth has not long to stay,
Love is a long term investment the best you will find any day.

Love like the rising sun takes all the darkness away,
Our children will tell their children and their children children will say,
Give love to the children they are our crock of gold,
and if perchance they ever stray they will come back to the fold.

Give love to the children the children of today,
Give love to the children and love will come to stay.

Children know laughter,
They know tears,
Children know peace,
They know chaos.
Children know acceptance,
They know rejection,
Children know joy,
They know pain.
Children know abundance,
They know lack,
Children know health,
They know illness.
Children know fulfillment,
They know emptiness,
Children know hope,
They know dismay.
Children know love,
They know hatred.
What they don’t know is WHY!
