Our Children's World, brand new original song. I was inspired to write this by my friend Paul Smith, who started 'Our Children's World'. If you enjoy it, please share. Any proceeds from the song will go to www.ourchildrensworld.org. This video is intended for mixed audiences.

lyrics

I believe that the only hope
for the planet of our birth
Is to come to understand the purpose
we were meant to serve
set aside our mass illusion and see reality
how much wealth and how much comfort do you think we really need

it’s our children’s world
make no mistake
they have to live
with what we create
we don’t own it
we’re only borrowing our children’s world

there are those that value nothing
that can’t be bought or sold
there are those that sell their birthright
for a shiny pot of gold
when the final curtain closes
will you see your life in shame
will the world be better for us
than it was before you came

it’s our-

that’s the hard part
to see it from a far
to know ourselves
for exactly what we are
look around
in awe of what you see
and be grateful grateful


you can say that someone told you
there’s a better world ahead
and it doesn’t matter to you
what the voice inside you said
did you think that it was really
about you all alone
and does it give you reason
to destroy our only home

chorus

Kids choruses at end:

it’s your children’s world
make no mistake
we have to live
with what you create
you don’t own it
you’re only borrowing your children’s world
