"Our Children's Eyes"

"Our Children's Eyes"

Know this in your heart; That a new day will arise
Know this as you see the dawn within your children's eyes
Witnessing a war...
The children shield their eyes, afraid to witness more

On the horizon, a new day will arise...
I see this truth within my children's eyes
Tomorrow will be brighter, of this I am sure
A time in which blood stained hands are cleaned, and changed to pure

Have we ever seen the world through our children's eyes?
Forever amazed is he or she who tries
If you know the way, then come along
Keep a thick line between right and wrong

One day...
All the smoke will roll away
And may the smoke not arise...
To fill our children's eyes
