YOUNG EYES

 

What horrors have your young eyes seen 

Know for certain they are not fields of green

Nor have you seen the sky looking so blue 

Instead you've seen people dying in front of you

 

What horrors have your young eyes seen  

Rubble now where once a building had been 

Your young eyes can't look the other way 

Facing all these horrors throughout each day

 

What horrors have your young eyes seen 

Death or destruction is just a daily routine 

My old eyes sees yours on a computer screen

Your age I guess would be twelve or thirteen
