My Child
Why do you fight, my child?
Is it for love?
Do you fight for the peace of the world?
Why do you fight?
Why do you cry, my child?
Is it for the loss of innocence
Or the gain of reality?
Do you cry for those who are lost
Or for those who've been found?
Why do you cry?
What do you see, my child?
Is it the harm done to our people?
Do you see the violence on our shore?
Or do you see the people serving?
Or the grace of the one above?
What do you see?
It's okay, my child.
You fight for Him
And cry for them,
You see the wrong of the world
But also the good
For you are a dreamer and a fighter
You hope to see
The world united for eternity.
