Child's Play

As a child I held my head high; But with ridicule I learn to feel shy Smothered with hostility I learn to fight. I know what's wrong and what's right (why do we live in the world of black and white) Everyday I proclaim my uniqueness; is there really justice and fairness I have faith and that is my security No matter what; I continue forward through adversity They say children are the future of tomorrow But adults is giving our future hatred, chaos, and mayhem that is deep in sorrow As a child I live with shame but I learn to be patient in Jesus name I cry for help deep within Everyday I live with criticism but I learn to condemn I need encouragement to build my confidence Teach me and show me, to use my common sense Remember God put us here to give Him glory and praise everyday It's no time for child's play
