The birds chirp outside my window The sun shines in to wake me from my pillow The wind and with it trees are blowing While the water on the earth is flowing The kids play outside in the fields Enjoying life cause innocence shields It protects them from the real world Happiness in them is pure it is not swirled It has not mixed with any hardships They have not experienced the darkness The world is perfect to them It has not yet had a chance to condem They laugh and smile Enjoying the peace as they run around for miles But then they'll grow up and see That the world is not all that it turns out to be It's hard to do and hard to live Some people take and others give You have to know what's right You have to know what's wrong You have to see the light And you've got to be strong To get through whatever comes at you And no matter what you have to do Always do it for it might make the difference If its what you believe you'll make that inference And try to live your life to get to the end So you finally get to where you're meant
