Child Voice

You may think you are promoting peace when you take a child's voice You may think you are guiding them in the right way When they make you uncomfortable with things they think and say I want you to know, the secret side to this Their voice is not your voice You may be demoting peace For how can they recognize any other pain, song of true love Voices crying in the dark They themselves have not learned their own sounds Having been made uncomfortable You replaced their voice with your own Have you ever heard the birds sing Sounds of night So many voices finding their own way Perfect harmony In crooked trees and faded flowers So don't ever think for a minute Your voice is their voice If ever you get uncomfortable With their authenticity Ask yourself Why the trees are crooked Flowers are faded Voices still singing in perfect Harmony
