Blessed Be The Little Ones

What I saw today
Brought a tear to my eye
What I saw today
Could make the wind cry

The light in a child's eyes
Dimmed low and shied away
Hidden forever in fear
Of things that adults say

Understanding a fear
Living a lie
Blessed be the little ones
Who live like this and die

The other side
A better place
Over here
Caught in the rat race

The voices adults raise
Echo in their little hearts
Shatters their world
Breaks them apart

So trusting they are
Living in fear
They know no other way
Then to trust the ones they hold dear

The ones that yell
And hit and fight
The ones they are afraid of
Dark voices in the night

Little blind eyes
Left there, betray
Not understanding
Why they must stay
