Innocence of Youth

 

In the eyes of the youth
The world is a peaceful place
A soother clenched tightly
A bottle of Mother's Milk

In the eyes of the youth
Nobody is dying
Nobody feels pain
Warmth in mommy's arms

In the eyes of the youth
No crack is being sold
Nobody lives on the streets
Thumb in mouth, eyes are closed

In the eyes of the youth
There are no bloody wars
There are no people in jail
The world has no hunger
