Future of Tomorrow

The canvas was blank when he  started his day 
Driving in his car he started to pray 
Asking God to give him a clue 
Popped in his mind in front of the school
Kids today are the future of tomorrow 
Warn em of the dangers save em from the sorrow
They agree with their “friends” when it’s wrong within 
Stand up do what’s right love one another never fight 
The devil’s waiting especially online 
To steal their soul and rob their mind
Tell the bullies of the special place
 Designed for them by disgust and disgrace
 The smoke will burn their eyes before the sulphur hits the nose
24 hours of roaring fires no water no hose 
Show them pictures of the kid that lost his arm 
Why do they complain about soggy Lucky Charms 
Explain how drink and drug ruins many a life 
If they’re feeling lucky tell em give it a try  
Oh. I forgot to tell ya one pill can kill ya 
So on second thought scratch that out
Tell them about the door deep in their mind 
It leads to hidden treasure 
We’ll have to save that for another time
