My Children
My Children
Open to the truth of this world
Open like the arms of a child to a parent
Father is closed to his child
Small and lose
Crying in the arms of hate
Mother why sell us for freedom
Where freedom is sweet
Sweet like the honey suckle in spring
Chasing the wings if a eagle
Father release us
Mother catch it; catch it among the eyes of hate
And we cry right here in arms of hate
Their twisted hate
Skeletal remains of family
In the arms of the hungry
In the arms of the lonely
Father where are you
Mother why is……………..
Snatched my soul from my body
I watch beneath
Beneath evil of his breath
Their hands
Hands snatching my soul
Father why
Forsake us children
God left us here to die
