They Say, We Say

Children these days have no clue What it is like watching a leaf’s morning dew They don’t understand how it all works They don’t get this life’s true words. We do, you just don’t see it all We might be young, but we don’t just fall We learned a lot, from head to toe We know how it works, see us tie and untie a bow. They think they know everything, we passed it before They think they can cheat us, they lie and hurt a core How could today’s children do such things How could today’s children fly without wings. You taught us how to stand, walk and stand again You taught us how to eat, drink, talk and smile once again You taught us well, didn’t you Mom and Dad? Trust us as we trusted you, please Mom and Dad.
