Make Their World Brighter Than Yours

It's about time we switched to a happier tune, it's about time we flew a kite in the sunny afternoon; make their world brighter than yours, teach them how to sing louder: isn't life wonderful when people finally, take the flight of the eagle? Make their world brighter than yours, show them new horizons as bright as my morning; give them that reason for living, not for dying in the arms of strangers! It's about time we honored our mothers, and lend a hand to our brothers and returned to God with repenting hearts... and see wonders to behold; it's about time we understood their pain and ignore ours: must their hopes be half-truths? Make their world brighter than yours, they are standing on the sharp edge of the cliff... longing for our voice to spare them from death; we wouldn't understand, unless... we have been there ourselves, feeling so lost and hopeless! Oh, make their world brighter than yours!
