Innocence is betrayed
And the actions aren't delayed
The world is revealed
Nothing is concealed
Light gives in to dark
It ravages leaving its mark
Life is conquered by death
People breathe their last breath
Fairytales become extinct
True life pushed them to the brink
Drugs and war take the stage
Violence and mayhem is all the rage
Eyes once closed now open wide
Pain and suffering run inside
And one might try but can't obtain
Freedom from all this pain
So seek to keep while its there
The innocence of child fair
And the actions aren't delayed
The world is revealed
Nothing is concealed
Light gives in to dark
It ravages leaving its mark
Life is conquered by death
People breathe their last breath
Fairytales become extinct
True life pushed them to the brink
Drugs and war take the stage
Violence and mayhem is all the rage
Eyes once closed now open wide
Pain and suffering run inside
And one might try but can't obtain
Freedom from all this pain
So seek to keep while its there
The innocence of child fair
