Little Kids

The little kids all around
Laughing at the top of there lungs
Playing on the playground
They're so cute when they're so young

We have to be careful about what we say
They listen to us; the people they look up to
And we would hate for them to take it the wrong way
Because they imitate everything that we do

We see all the pain and suffering going on in life
And we wonder how they got that way
Little do we know we pass on to the little ones our strife
We hurt them and then tell them that it's okay

We set and example that they repeat
They follow it becomes normally
They used to be so sweet
So we have to act formally
