In Their Eyes

In their eyes of children is a world I wish could be

Their definitions of this life derived so simply

There's no one to hurt them and everything is fair

The cruelty around them seems hidden from their stare

In their eyes I see a world where every man is free

In their eyes I see a better place for you and me

In their eyes I see a world where no one has to die

In their eyes I see a place where there's never need to lie

But as they grow this vision changes with every passing year

Each misconception lost with shedding of a tear

A world that once seemed safe is revealed to be so cold

In a world disfigured by simply growing old

The simple definitions of this world you think you know

Will surely start to crumble as your youthful body grows

Love for you is simple, it supplies you with your needs

In our world it's lethal for it bites the hand that feeds
