To the Youth Who Once Knew Hope-

I. I sat below the pane and wondered why The youth in the world know not hope- Some children are so sad they wish to die, Many have never learned from parents how to cope. II. So I take a breath and try to ease in slow, Express all the emotions I feel inside- All the times life took me undertow, Feel lost for all the children that wish to hide. CHORUS. O, are there answers to questions I ask? Like when will youth learn right from wrong- In my little bubble of compassion, I bask, And for all of the children, I sing this song. Yeah, I sing to you this song; for life was good to me all along- It can be great for all of you…you each can live in harmony with me too. III. May each child born in poverty see wealth, The kind that fulfills a heart with love- May all the youth in disease find good health, And see the Lord has blessed them from above. IV. I can see the potential in each of you, Feel the power of faith in all that is right- Embracing that unity is our glue, And laughter can bring the utmost light. CHORUS. O, are there answers to questions I ask? Like when will youth learn right from wrong- In my little bubble of compassion, I bask, And for all of the children, I sing this song. Yeah, I sing to you this song; for life was good to me all along- It can be great for all of you, You each can live in harmony with me too- Just believe in what is real...and you too can feel what I feel. ___________________________________________ Date: 12.20.20 Title chosen: To the Youth Who Once Knew Hope Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
