Steal the joy from your life
Let no demon seed of addiction
Steal desires of your heart
Let not the evil seed of malediction
Steal your hopes
Nor the lose fascination of the stars
You receive but a single life
It is spent in a cage of flesh
You begin the journey with birth
Cannot escape the ending death
But the world offers
Far more than you can see
But hungry beasts of evil
Wish to be your slaughter
All you see that is beauty
All you feel that is empathy
All you ever wish to know
You are on a journey
Meant to help you grow
Murderers and thieves linger
As you confess your sins
Guard your heart against their acts
Willing to go to your knees
And there ask
What can I do
What can I say
To help the world
To help the children play
In a world that they deserve
Never mistake kindness
For the trait of weakness
Innocence is a gift
Children have right to keep it
As long as they live for it is given
And can never be earned
The greatest sacrifice is for others
So that the end of the journey
For everyone, of all ages
Is one of inestimable worth
