I am.....

I am but a child, I am afraid
I wonder where life will take me
I hear desire's call
I see lives wilting like roses around me
I want to stop it all
I am but a child, I am afraid

I pretend it doesn't bother me
I feel their cold whispers inside
I touch their pale hands to my own
I worry it will never end
I cry each time I see them falling
I am but a child, I am afraid

I understand it doesn't matter when
I say senseless death is wrong
I dream for it to end
I try to make them listen
I hope they'll finally listen, but in the end
I am but a child, I am afraid





Genesis, 11-6
