Protect the Children
Lord bless the little children
Each and every one
Protect them from corruption
And all the bad things done.
Let them keep their innocence
Let them keep their love
Let them keep anything
That comes from up above
May they live life happy
May they live life free
May they live life being
Just what they want to be
In a world full of hatred
Let them be the one
That shines like a beacon
Just like the sun
And once they have made it
Please take care
That no-one can turn their lives
Into a nightmare
For predators and weapons
Are around us all
So be aware of it
And try not to fall.
It's a very sad fact
That your 'friends' may not be
Worthy of your trust
If you're clever like me
It took me 50 years
To see the game plan
So be on your guard
Each and every man.
There is no equality
There is no law
No human rights
Of that I'm sure
It's just a game
So don't become
Prey like me
Now I've no-one.

Especially for all the beautiful children I see
from my window while my own identity is being
stolen. May they always have someone to turn to.
