Paralyzed by the innocence of eyes,
A warm feeling waves over not despised,
Their beautiful laughter brings only joy.
No matter the look of each girl and boy,
All have an unwritten future, and that,
Brings hope to those who are less innocent.

Let us hope that they do not see darkness.
Let us hope that they stay with innocence,
However, they shall not be ignorant.
Let them have the wisdom of an owl.
Let us hope that they smile happily.
We are all tired of all the violence,
We are all tired of the woeful cries,
We are tired and scared and need to change.

The change will be all of their radiance,
They will prosper and radiate with light,
The light will reflect on their wise rivers,
Let us hope they will heal before they kill.
Let us hope that they shine and use reason.
Let us hope that they learn from our mistakes.
