Let Children Be
Wishing well the youngsters who might change the world
CHILDREN BE
Let the children be what they are meant to be
If a bird then let them fly
If a beast then let them roam
Let them be what they ought to be
Don’t hinder them
Lift them up to the sky
And far between the clouds
Right up to the sun
Let their hands reach for the universe
And give them a higher ambition
Powering them with super strength
That they can build where they were birth from
Make their home among the ages
Plant their tree with the wise
Let them live to see a hundred
Maybe they will make their mark upon the stars
You don’t know until you try
You maybe unsure until you believe
Give them hope and give them faith
Create in them a brilliant character
Enrich their lives with books and art
Enrich their souls with questions
And they will grow beyond the horizon
And they will reach for distant places
And they will know that they are not alone
But how can we know what our children possess
Unless we believe at first without seeing
Believe for goodness sake and let your children live.
