If I was to sit and write a song of today I wouldn’t know what to say
For the times are getting bad and it not even safe to go out to play
We are teaching our children that violence is the only thing we understand
For the T V programs shows about the killing and it has even gotten out of hand
To sit on a bar stool or at the coffee table is the worst place to be
For the example can’t be shown if we just try to hide behind a tree
There must be something we can do in our life to turn this world around
For it is sad to see the children walking around with nothing more than a frown
We may not know how to work the new toys but we still have something to say
Even if the children don’t sit on your knee to listen we can still show then a new way
The angels have work hard to give us their love that is need to be shared each day
So with a smile or just a soft voice they may want to hear what you have to say
As we take a walk through the park you can see all the trash
And do you wonder why under the swings you can see some grass
The rivers have changed from the trash left behind
And sometimes smell like it came from a sulfur mine
The air in the towns isn’t fit to breath
And our eyes begin to burn from the soft breeze
The world won’t be fixed in just one night
But with your help we can start the great fight
So maybe a challenge for us as we start the new day
Is to think how we can help just so the children will have a place to play
