INNOCENT EYES - MOST LIKELY TO FAIL

IT’S A SIGN OF THE TIMES THAT WE LIVE IN,
AND THE CONSTANT MEDIA SATURATION.
WE GROW ACCUSTOMED TO THE HORRORS OF THE WORLD OUTSIDE.
OUR FEELINGS NUMBED TO THESE SCENES OF DEVASTATION,
COMPASSION LOST FOR ANOTHER MANS SUFFERING,
WE BRUSH IT OFF LIKE ITS JUST ANOTHER MATTER OF FACT.

WE HAVE NO TIME FOR THE
PLIGHT OF ANOTHER AND THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS.
SO WRAPPED IN OUR OWN LIVES,
WHERE IT’S EACH AND EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.

ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES THAT WE LIVE IN.
A LOST INNOCENCE, A CHILD’S EYES OPENED.
EXPOSED TO SOON TO THE HORRORS OF LIFE.
YOU SAY THEY’VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE,
BUT THAT’S NO EXCUSE OR A GOOD ENOUGH REASON.
IF YOU SIT BACK, THEY’LL TAKE IN EVEN MORE.

DESENSITISED TO THE
STRUGGLES OF THE WORLD OR ITS PAIN AND ITS SUFFERING.
EYES OPEN WIDE, CAN WE
TAKE THIS ANYMORE IT'S A SCREWED UP WORLD WERE IN.
IN THESE TIMES WE LEAD SUCH
DISCONNECTED LIVES,
WHEN WE SHOW NO REGARD FOR THE COST,
THERE’S NO WONDER OUR CHILDREN HAVE LOST
THEIR INNOCENT EYES.

WHY DO WE ALLOW OUR KIDS TO SEE,
SUCH VIOLENCE, HATE AND ADULT SCENES.
A STOLEN INNOCENCE ONLY MAKES THEM
GROW UP BEFORE THEIR TIME,
BUT ITS ANYTHING FOR AN EASY LIFE.

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS SEEM TO TAKE
A TRAGEDY ON A GLOBAL SCALE
FOR US TO SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE
OF THE REST OF THE WORLD OUTSIDE.
NOT JUST OUR SELF OBSESSIVE LIVES.

SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE,
CORRUPTION OF MORALS IN A FEELING-LESS SOCIETY.
SHALL WE JUST EXCEPT IT AS A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

DESENSITISED TO THE
STRUGGLES OF THE WORLD OR ITS PAIN AND ITS SUFFERING.
EYES OPEN WIDE, CAN WE
TAKE THIS ANYMORE IT'S A SCREWED UP WORLD WERE IN.
IN THESE TIMES WE LEAD SUCH
DISCONNECTED LIVES,
WHEN WE SHOW NO REGARD FOR THE COST,
THERE’S NO WONDER OUR CHILDREN HAVE LOST
THEIR INNOCENT EYES.
