Let the Children Be

Let the children be The carefree laughter of a child, sweeps across the sky The joy of playing and happiness can be seen Eyes sparkle and cheeks are flushed with fresh air The beauty and innocence of a child is everywhere Man with wicked thoughts and perverted mind Come to ruin the innocence of a child To destroy that little world before it begins To leave that life filled with scary things Why must a child's innocence from him be taken They don't deserve man’s evil intentions The innocence of a child is the way to heaven Evil men must pay for their actions Preserve the beauty and innocence of a child Permit them to be happy and free God's children can show you a true smile Let them be happy, let the children be.
