As Youth
Watch, as the carousel goes round and round
Watch, as the children jump up and down
Innocence is theirs, punishment is ours
Life is a lesson, enjoy these short hours
When you’re in the streets waiting for your day to die
Watch and remember as the children run by.
For they run and play as it was any other day
Hopeful and dreamful, feeling joyful and gay.
