Spirits of the Innocent

[Upbeat Verse 1] Look into their shining eyes Those children of tomorrow have no disguise Their laughter rings out like a brilliant light Cutting through the darkness with hope so bright [Pre-Chorus] We've taught them mistrust, how to shut their hearts away But their spirits are calling for a new day [Verse 2] Those radiant smiles speak a language so pure Why corrupt that innocence we should surely ensure? We've fractured this planet with conflict and greed But the children remind us of all we should heed [Pre-Chorus] From their untainted souls, such wisdom will spring To heal all the wounds this world's sufferings bring [Chorus] (The children of tomorrow are beckoning you and me To nurture the seeds of a new humanity Where kindness and caring can blossom and breathe Peace will prevail when we open our eyes and see) [Verse 2] Those radiant smiles speak a language so pure Why corrupt that innocence we should surely ensure? We've fractured this planet with conflict and greed But the children remind us of all we should heed (ahhhh) [Calm outro] (uhhh... ahhh....) If we could be half as trusting and kind (uhhh... ahhh....) As the spirits of children, so free and unbound (uhhh... ahhh....) Our torn world would heal and our bonds re-align (uhhh... ahhh....) United in love for all human kind (uhhh... ahhh....)
