Cry for the Children

He looked up to the sky Ancient questions filled his mind They all came down to why The answers weren't hard to find We see more than we are shown We speak more than we can tell If love were made of gold We'd only love ourselves We stand together yet alone Always fearing our demise How can we see right from wrong We can't see the truth from the lies He cried for tomorrow He cried for today And he cried for the children We speak of peace, then wipe the blood off our hands We say compassion, but won't understand We cry for justice, but we only want revenge At the altar on corrupted knees We say believe, then do as we please The future is fading cause nobody wants to change So go the children From the outside looking in We see only what we choose Until we look within We are destined to lose He cried for tomorrow He cried for today And he cried for the children
