Children

The weight of decisions
Not yet made
Has trampled the dams
Behind which I have stayed

The tears are all falling
No stopping them now
The hearts that will break
At our mercy somehow

My beautiful creatures
Precious and sweet
Don't deserve this loss
Shouldn't carry such grief

I'll pay for our sins with
My own blood and tears
But I'm frozen in terror
As I've been all these years

I don't know any longer
Which way leads me thru
I don't see any beacon
No way to aim true

The tears are all falling

No stopping them now

The hearts that will break

At our mercy somehow
