Sound The Drums of Peace and Glory

Child abuse IS everyone's business

 

 

 

I awoke in the middle of the night

my heart filled with pain and despair

My dream was about our children

those suffering from abuse everywhere

 

My dream seemed too real of possibilities

my heart filled with such pain and shame

for our world so full of hate and sin

and too many abused children to name

 

So many joys and sorrows

of our children chasing unlived dreams

to be the victims of a society

with all their evil, wicked schemes

 

We must all take a stand to protect our children

sound our drums of peace and glory

forming love around their lives

let there be an end to all these horrible stories

 

Why is it we sometimes seem to blindly tolerate

what in our lives we would not take?

There are so many evils of men and strangers

so please... protect your children for their sake

 

The cradle of humanity

seems to be under a wicked despot’s thumb

It comes to test the ties that bind

where love and enlightenment must come

 

Our hearts ache for all our children

I hear those voices cry out to me

They must know we weep for all of them

for their chance to love and be free
