lyrics

SHOW THE KIDS

When mindless noise invades the mind
Imagination is hard to find
Strip away these glittering lights
In shadows, it hides
Time to show the kids
There is something better

The wandering spirit of the human heart
Could find no map, so it invented art
To guide us along, but we’ve ignored some signs
And now we are lost
Time to show the kids
We can find our way again

Beneath the pavement, beneath the skin
A violent world is growing within
The streets are bleeding as the hatred spreads
To innocent minds
Time to show the kids
They can do better

Look for something better
Don’t accept this old world the way you found it
Seek the best within you
Only then can you change the world you were born into
Hold your head above the crowd
Make your music strong and proud
Then you will be free to be yourself
And to live for what you know

Romantic dreams, forgotten times
The daring few who changed our minds
They built this world with a noble design
But it’s being destroyed
Time to show the kids
We can build it all again
Time to tell the kids
Look for something better
