~ Tears For the Children ~
~ Tears For the Children ~
Do not close your eyes to their suffering
You know what you have to do,
Do not turn away from this child's tears
Or the words they've not whispered to you.
Did you see the bruises they tried to hide
When you walked past them just today,
Or did you notice how nervous they seemed to be
When you asked them if they were okay.
Did you sit and listen to their little screams
That came from the house next door,
Did you hear them begging for their little lives
Or did you turn away like you did before.
Why do we allow these children to suffer or die
When there's so much we could have done,
Why is it that all the tears that are shed,
Come too late to us for the innocent little ones
