why are all the children crying? can't we see their world is dying? alone we pushed them out into the streets did it all through lies and deceit alone, they are so alone they turn to us for healing hands we pass them by, in the world they stand alone we close our eyes to what they're feeling how can they live in a life without meaning alone, why are they alone? who's going to keep their dream alive can't you see the pain growing in their eyes people say it's much too late what's going to happen at heaven's gate? We've got to reach out for the children Let them know that life's worth livin' Put aside our selfish pride Before this world runs out of time alone ------------------ does anybody know does anybody care what are the words we're attempting to share chris |

Chris, This was really good, and I agree with you, there are too many children living their lives alone with no adult reassurance, no one to look up to. You touched upon an issue we all need to think really hard about. Thank you for sharing it! ------------------ Shannon D. Montgomery ("Krystal") |

how sad...how true ------------------ If I had my mouth I would bite. If I had my liberty I would do my liking. In the mean time, let me be that I am, and seek not to alter me. ~~~Shakespeare~~~ |
