Children are called the future of an adult world
They are born with spirits so innocent
'till we teach them how to hate
Add to the world's confusion
We teach our kids rules
That we don't adhere to ourselves
Right or wrong
What example can they take
The people we learn from
Forge the ideas we become
Chorus:
Living in a world they didn't make
Living in a world that's filled with hate
Living in a world where grown-ups break the rules
Living in a world they didn't make
Paying for a lot of adult mistakes
How much of this madness can they take
Our children
Children grow to become our young adults
Problems of the world
They must learn how to confront
Doing drugs and joining gangs to rebel
Colors show they belong
To the social override
'cause they're living in a space
They feel out of place
Repeat ChorusI never had reason
to regret the path I chose
I'm driven by changing seasons
The one thing that nobody knows
There were some compromises
Too late to reprimand
see through this worn digiuse
I'll be wearing until the end
(Chorus)
Look at the smile they painted on my face
Hiding the Truth you know I'm far from grace
Turning the pages of the words I've said
But the passion will never be gone
The spirit goes on
I hope this will last forever
To be in this paradise
Subconsiously holds me together
I don't need no cold advice
(Chorus)
By the firelight I stare into the night
That looks down on me
And it's calling me to carry on this plight
Let the spirit fly away
I nerver had areason
To regret the path I chose
I'm driven by changing seasons
The one thing that nobody knows
Too many compromises
I don't want to reprimand
More than a thin disguise
I'll be holding on till the end
