Should this ever happen, we should weep towards the skies
It's something to be concerned about....When Innocence Leaves Their Eyes
When we hold a child who's young, their eyes hardly show emotion
Because they're sheltered from the world/The chaos, and commotion
But, if youy don't raise them properly, if you abuse/do drugs/or crime
Their precious lives will become altered...they'll grow up before it's time
I ounce knew a girl with eyes, so beautiful, serene and pure
Still, her father had an ugly problem,,,Many nights alone endured
Oh, she was still a lovely vision, but, her eyes were not the same
They reflected the bittermess of her Soul/the violation, and the shame
Eyes devoid of Innocence had taken something from her face
Since her father destroyed her purity...Yes, he touched her secret place
Many are the kids who suffer this, we wish it wasn't so
Yet, their eyes speak sans the Innocence, which was taken long ago
These kids don't know about Love, only Survival/Rejection/Fear
So, to a Trick, A Pipe, A bottle...No doubt to find some solace there
In their eyes you'll see no joy, only their hearts remember when
How it felt to be free and Innocent; it won't be felt again
It's something that can't be hidden, no cover up or disguise
Because you'll look at a child and know....When Innocence Leaves Their Eyes....
