The Eyes of Our Children

The eyes of our children are upon us

Do not look away

For in their eyes we see ourselves reflected

It is we they save

Let them draw us in for they hold the keys

To the treasures we only dream about

Take them by the hand

And let them lead us

For in their innocence

Are the wonders we desire

Beware no harm comes to them -

They walk with angels

And shine their brilliance

And touch us with their gentleness

Oh take delight in them

They are free

They break our chains that bind us to the past

And show the promise of a new day

The eyes of our children are upon us

Do not look away
