Little One Lyrics

Speak words so I can hear

That I can accept

Will banish my fear

Of a feeling I kept

Under a mask

That tightly locks in

The wish I must ask

To reveal what's in

Your plan

Does it

Does it span

The course of lifetimes

Of all who were wise

Have you forgotten

That you are their son.

Tell me little one

What are you thinking

Is it all about fun

Or just your own thing

Can't you see that it's wrong

Just an easy way out

It will never last long

And soon you'll be without

Joy you thought was yours to keep

Slipped away during troubled sleep

The promise of a life that's safe

Reverses to a deadly grave

The warmth at night of those you love

Turns cold and raw while thinking of

All the things you should have seen

The person that you should have been

Can't you see, little one

That time is short, no time for fun

Only work, and caring for

The air you breathe, and giving your

Skills and intelligence

To solve the change, with gentleness

With empathy, for humanity

Run away from insanity

Together, with compromise

So no one dies, and no one cries

Your survival and happiness

Must be shared, with acts of kindness

Only you, little ones

Must plan a way, to get it done

Only you

Choke on the flavor of poisonous gases

Drown in the waves as the water rises

Searching through rubble that's scattered around

Scraps of your life that used to be your town

Flames from the fires swallow what's left

As creatures of evil dance and infest

All who survived with cunning afflictions

Wishing the destruction of civilization

The spawn of bombs melt away our skin

As wars erupt impossible to win

Hate your neighbors because just because

Little Ones

Listen to the Wise Ones

You're their sons

Little Ones

Listen to the Wise Ones

You're their sons

Little Ones

Listen to the Wise Ones

You're their sons
