"The Children"
I am the voice of the children -
simple and honest and clear.
Forever the light in the darkest of night,
I have not gone away, I am here.
I am the eyes of the children -
with vision beyond my years.
I focus my sight, unblinking and bright,
unclouded, except for my tears.
I am the soul of the children -
innocent, blameless and pure.
My spirit undaunted, through violence flaunted,
will conquer, and ever endure.
Remember the trust of the children.
Darkness will not have its day;
take hold of my hand and we'll both understand
that the children will show you the way.
