I entered the room in just that way
My child became an adult today
So full of life and so full of dreams
My soul presses for him in the stream
It was yesterday he asked me to help
To tie his shoe to hold his hand as I knelt
It was yesterday he asked me about life
Was he destine to live in strife?
Chorus
The children are the life and the being
The future to carry what we have been
The hope and the spirit of life they wield
The despair as they leave for the killing field
The field of disappointment, the field of missing care, with pain they endure and distance they know, with life ending, ending with a snuff
Oh, my only choice is to love, love, love him as he goes… enough...
Oh God, don’t let him go, go to that place
That place they said needs our defense our base
They tell us it’s true, it’s pure
The need to send them for us to endure
In the the end, they tell us it’s true
The reasons are pure in the virus so new
The prices we see are worthy and a need
To see a new day with a climate a new seed
Chorus
The children are the life and the being
The future to carry what we have been
The hope and the spirit of life they wield
The despair as they leave for the killing field
The field of disappointment, the field of missing care, with pain they endure and distance they know, with life ending with a snuff, when is it enough…?
Oh, my only choice is to love, love, love him as he goes… yeah, yeah, when is it enough...
The world I once knew is no longer here
The confusion I face, the love that was once dear
Has been released for me to embrace
The new love of vice and the wrath is our grace
The anger swells and the violence is unleashed
Where do I find answers that are not seethed
Wait do you hear it, that noise that sound
My heart beats, bathed in stress and is bound
Chorus
The children are the life and the being
The future to carry what we have been
The hope and the spirit of life they wield
The despair as they leave for the killing field
The field of disappointment, the field of missing care, with pain they endure and distance they know, with life ending with a snuff, it is enough, I have had enough…
Oh, my only choice to love, love, love him as he goes… show him a better choice… Love
A choice guided just so… guided by the One above…
