Butterflies and Golden skies

Children growing much too fast
The products of a loveless past
A frozen home sent them away
Now only on the streets they play
No time to count the butterflies
Or lie beneath the golden skies
Expressionless and saddened faces
Longing for those lost embraces

No homes to go to when it’s cold
Crouching with their body sold
Crying all their precious tears
As men unleash their deepest fears
No time to count the butterflies
Or lie beneath the golden skies
Too rushed to smell the purple flowers
Or sleep on satin sheets for hours

This is not some made up rhyme
It’s true to kids who live with crime
Be thankful for the love you share
Sing with your heart and show you care
Make time to count the butterflies
And lie beneath the golden skies
Sit and watch the bumble bees
Be brave enough to sail the seas

	You saw what you get If you take what you take. Look in the eyes of the test. It's all because... Now there's a feeling I get. When I look to the left. But we can never be sensed. Our searching for a sign.
