Through The Eyes Of A Child

Looking through the eyes of a child,
And wondering what they see,
Is it a world of happiness,
Or one of catastrophy.

We know they'll see many shameful things,
That they just won't understand,
In a world that's suppose to be loving,
But torn apart by almighty man.

Children by the millions are paying a price,
And are dying from hunger each day,
Their cries can be heard all over the world,
Why are they suffering that way?

Some kids are left in the streets to die,
Society does not lend a hand,
To protect these children from danger,
Impossible to understand!

Our world has become so hardened,
That we fail to do all we can,
To save these children and let them live,
As part of the freedom land.

Many go without clothing to wear,
They can't feel the warmth in the night,
Instead they lay hungry and shivering,
And wee minds that are filled with much fright.

They do not know what tomorrow will bring,
But for most it will just be the same,
Hunger, suffering, and left in the street,
We cannot imagine their pain.

Through the eyes of a child let's all do our part,
Let them know of a world that cares,
The good Lord is doing all that He can,
Of our good life it's time that we shared.
