Hearts Of The Innocent

I'm looking down into the eyes of hopelessness

They're crying out to me

I see the pain

It's so much more than youth should know



It tears me apart

What can I do to change what I see

This vicious cycle

Must come to an end



Can't you see, we're crushing the hearts of the innocent

We're teaching them to fail

And how it breaks me to see how we're living

And punishing the ones that need us to care

To see them hurting

Feels like knuckles to the back of my head



Where have the days gone that a promise was forever

Families stuck together

We wonder why their generation struggles to get by

There's no one to help

What can I do to change what I see

This vicious cycle must come to an end



Can't you see, we're crushing the hearts of the innocent

We're teaching them to fail

And how it breaks me to see how we're living

And punishing the ones that need us to care

To see them hurting

Feels like knuckles to the back of my head



Can't you see, we're crushing the hearts of the innocent

We're teaching them to fail

And how it breaks me to see how we're living

And punishing the ones that need us to care

To see them hurting

Feels like knuckles to the back of my head

Feels like knuckles to the back of my head
