The Innocents

I see the face of the innocent child
Burned into my heart so wild
And they both take sides
Take love and take lives
From our hands
And the sands
Bear no trace of the sea
But if it was up to me
I’d reach over and grasp a hand
Though there’s no way I can understand
What you’re going through
But you’re not alone, you
Have to hear my voice
Retribution is not a choice
That anyone should have to make
But the glass breaks as the ground shake
Can the turmoil be stemmed
Like the flow of blood from wounds again
