ITS NOT FAIR THAT CHILDREN

Its not fair that children
Should ever have to pay~
Just because some adults
Must always have their way~

Its not fair that children
Should ever have to know~
Of a world of trauma
Not until they grow~

Its not fair that children
Should ever have to be~
Anything but children
Till childhood sets them free~

Its not fair that children
Should not know of a world of love~
Should not grow in a world of peace
Without the blessings from him above~

Children should only be children
To play and love and learn~
And for dreams and magic things
Their little hearts should yearn~

No ... Its not fair that children
Should ever have to be~
Anything but children
Till childhood sets them free~
