" Let The Children Be"

"Let the Children Be"

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

A little boy hides in the corner of his room,

Bruises tell the story no child should assume.

He prays for love, but silence fills the air,

A childhood stolen life is so unfair.

A little girl cries with her hands on her face,

Dreams are broken, she’s lost in this place.

The ones who should love her, cut her soul really deep,

But angels in heaven hear her when she weeps.

Let the children be, let their laughter ring,

Don’t take away their voices, don’t clip their wings.

This world needs their light, their smiles, their song,

We’ve been silent too long, it’s time to stand strong.

We can’t turn away, or pretend we don’t see,

Every scar that’s hidden, every silent plea.

Our hands can protect, our voices can rise,

To break the chains of pain and stop all the lies.

They are the future, the hope of the land,

It’s time we defend them, together we stand.

No more excuses, no looking away,

Love is the answer, today is the day.

Let the children be, let their laughter ring,

Don’t take away their voices, don’t clip their wings.

This world needs their light, their smiles, their song,

We’ve been silent too long, it’s time to stand strong.

Every child deserves a life that is free,

From the shadows of hurt, let them simply be.

Let the children be...

Let the children be.
