A mornings word
by wordsy Author IconMail Icon


Can you cry for the children
Can you see it through their eyes
Can you cry for the children
and still not realize

That through all the pain and suffering
in life there is to bare
They're the ones left standing
wondering if we care

Can you cry for the children
and still not see the light
Can you cry for the children
And still sleep through the night

Can you look in the mirror
and say that it's okay
Can you go on tomorrow
the same as yesterday

Can you cry for the children
and hold your head up high
Can you cry for the children
as you sit and watch them die

For there's no use in telling
what you ought to know
The truth is so compelling
You reap just what you sow

Can you cry for the children
and still not share the blame
Can you cry for the children
and still not feel their pain

And through their pain they go on living
with the fear that fills their lives
Through the tears they go on giving
a love that never dies

Can you cry for the children
and take them to your heart
Can you cry for the children
I think it's time we start

For the truth is for the telling
if we help them to be strong
to stop the hurt and yelling
and right this awful wrong


as always,
wordsy.

"a thin trail of whispers
across a wandering mind
faint flashes of fantasy
that I often find
merely jaded shadows
of who I used to be
they fill with words, my pages
for all the world to see"
