Tomorrow's Children

We are the laughing innocent children
Ignored or misunderstood
We are the quiet weird kid who hides in life's shadows
We are the poets who write our own poems
We are the musicians who dance to our songs
We play in the numerous spectrums of gray that you never see
The children are victims of ignorant teachers
The children are hurting so why don't you help them
The children don't want to be clones of a violent society
There is no such thing as a problem child, there are only problemed children.
The teachers are telling...not teachers
The preachers are ranting...just preach
The teachers tell us not to fight, so why do we watch them brother
The children see the fighting, even if its hidden
Children are complacent to hurt sometimes
So they hurt themselves
Don't be another bad teacher, Don't be another bad teacher,
Don't be another bad teacher.
You are raising tomorrow's leaders
You are raising tomorrow's peacemakers
You are raising tomorrow's artists
So don't raise yourselves like your parents raised you
They didn't know any better, Now YOU do.
