Life is cruel
Yes I know
I’ve always been down that road
Feeling hurt, feeling pain
My whole life was full of rain
But I stood up
Standing ground
Feeling as if I wasn’t lost, but found
Getting back what was mine
Feeling strong, happy, and fine
Don’t let sadness take you down
You are you, and can be happy now
Love and laugh, reach the skies
Wipe the tears, from your eyes
Darling, you mustn’t cry
Life is our precious gift
But most of us, only drift
We look once and never think
Just how much this world will sink
We hurt each other every day
I’ve barely heard one person say
I amor you, just three simple words
Full of power, light, and mighty as swords
It makes me really sad to know
Just how much this world hasn’t grown
Life is about taking risks
A leap of faith and a courageous kick
But most of us hide away
Becoming an ugly dark decay
We can be so much more
Together we can all soar
Above the wicked evil things
All we have to do is think
Deeper, hard and long
We are strong, beautiful human beings
If only we all could see
The amazing things we could be
In the creation of us all
Yes I know

Feeling hurt, feeling pain
My whole life was full of rain

We are strong, beautiful human beings
If only we all could see
The amazing things we could be
In the creation of us all
The creeking silence of age echos through the streets.
Sounds like old wooden floors under heavy feet.
All of the children once running around have evacuated
Or maybe they’ve just disappeared
Where have all the children gone?
Just yesterday they were tying ribbons in trees and swinging from the branches.
They were leaping over hot coals and swooning at anything
Where have all the children gone?
Those of us who remain wonder around like abandoned children in shopping malls.
Where have all the children gone?
Maybe this is just a dream
Maybe we are sleeping in rooms filled with metal shelves
If we put our ears to those shelves they would tell us stories of how they were emptied
Emptied por the fingers of fathers
Emptied into the flesh of their sons and daughters.
Where have all the children gone?
We hope they’re hiding
We hope they’re playing a game
But we know this is really happening
