Have You Ever Wondered
Have you ever wondered
What the world would be like
If we all lived in peace.
I once thought peace was a word that soothe pain
I thought it was pure and holy and bore no blood stains
Then modern times came and a new generation was born.
Motherless babes consume by hate
Crying daughters victims of rape
Fatherless sons possess by guns.
Lost and cursed by grief and greed
Bondage and captive by prison walls
Children born and rear by the hands of babes.
Consumed by the lost and unloved
To fight a war, to revenge a death
Have you ever wondered
What the world would be like
If we all lived in peace
Mother and Fathers.
Be good to your children
Love them, nurture them
Listen to them, care for them.
Teach them, be there for them
They are our children
They are the lost generation.
They are the women and men of tomorrow
Mother and Father be parents to your children
Because there is a lost generation
That will grow to be mother and father to your children.
