They told us all when we were young,
We were too young to ask,
Our songs weren't ready to be sung,
Like childhood was a task !

They tell us what we need to know,
Intepreting our need,
What happened to the way we grow ?
Or nurturing the seed.

They told us 'Listen to our folks'
Though never to our soul,
Not knowing that our passion chokes,
And grows up less than whole.

Had they but taken time to tell,
The truth, the way it makes,
The mind and heart and feeling swell,
The icing on the cakes.

Then we would all have grown up wise,
And passed our wisdom on,
And see the world through childrens eyes,
A joy to gaze upon !
