We Changed Our View

Seeing the world,

in it's true light

for the first time

in its eternal night

A deep-rooted sense of hopelessness

engulfs as a whole

and steadfast stands this fear

rooted deep in our soul

Yet there's hope in those eyes

in those infant faces

how those lips still smile

while faced with what we see

as eternal rue

But it is we who need to learn

from the happy young children

that what good is life without smiles

love and fun wild.

The children among us have always known

how life should be lived

so they sow, in the fertile plains

of their youth, the seeds of happiness

We were once those kids

we too, once knew

But somewhere along the way

we changed our view
