"Leave The Children Be"

" Leave the Children Be "

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

(Verse 1)

Leave the children be, they have a future like you and me

In their eyes, hope still shines bright, let them dream and live their life

Don’t steal their joy, don’t dim their light

They’re the dawn that chases night

(Chorus)

Let them run, let them play

Let them laugh through each new day

Don’t let your darkness clip their wings

They were made for better things

Leave the children be, let them grow up free

They hold the keys to what this world could be

(Verse 2)

Little hands that build and mend, little hearts that will defend

All they need is love and grace, not the burdens of this place

Don’t make them fight a war they never chose

Let them bloom like a summer rose

(Chorus)

Let them run, let them play

Let them laugh through each new day

Don’t let your darkness clip their wings

They were made for better things

Leave the children be, let them grow up free

They hold the keys to what this world could be

(Bridge)

Don’t turn away when they cry

Lift them up, help them fly

Every child is a promise we can’t afford to break

Let them be for heaven’s sake

(Final Chorus)

Let them run, let them play

Let their dreams light up the way

We were once like them, don’t you see?

Leave the children be

Let them grow up free

They are the future—just like you and me
