Through The Eyes of Children 3:08

The Lyrics

I've been raised on fear and hate & war
Cliches, platitudes and metaphors
Young men die in the old man's cause
The small man pays for the big man's loss

Now I pray these days are past because
They were seen through the eyes of children

Blind men rule as we've all seen
Scorch our world to make their world green
Fat grow fat and lean grow lean
When we're tempted by their great machine

Let's remember that we're bein' seen
Through the eyes of little children

Brown & yellow, black and white
The Arab and the Israelite
Disagree and begin to fight
Ain't we all a silly sight
Trying to teach wrong from right
Through the eyes of little children

Now my children ask of me
"When I grow up, what will my world be?"
Not so good, but please, wait and see
And while we wait you can pray for me
To make my life a better thing to see
Through the eyes of little children

Through the eyes of little children
