Eyes of a Child

Don't do this
Don't do that

It's all we ever hear
Love your neighbor
Love your foe
And don't fight with your peer

All's well if said and done
To use love and not a gun
Don't know if that's what you do

In God we trust
He will save us
Wise words that you use
When it comes down to it
You end up in a pit
And everything's confused

Like a child that's lost his toy
Creating war next door
That's how it all appears to me

We learn from you how it should be
It seems that war is all we have
It's all so sad
What will happen to me?

Give to the poor
Help out the weak
That's what we learn from you
Give it all back
Relinquish the greed
That's what you need to do

You create so many rules
End up locked up just like fools
You say that love will set us free

You've always taught us not to fight
And suddenly that's all you do
It's all so sad
How can we understand?

You are bewildered by the truth
The fear is closing in on you
It's all so sad
Will we loose everything?
