How do you tell a child?
??
How do you tell a child
that the world is not mean,
When YOU don't understand,
the evil that you've seen?
How do you tell a child
to be truthful and be kind,
When honesty and answers
are something that YOU can't find??
How do you let them know
that we did nothing bad,
But because we stand for freedom,
other people might get mad!!
How do you explain the faces,
the sadness and the tears?
How do you comfort all their worries,
their nervousness and fears?
How do you look at them at say,
"I promise we'll be Okay!!"
When we sadly know that a promise
can sometimes slip away.
How do you restore their faith,
their courage and their gladness?
How do you give a reason,
a method to this madness?
You say you don't have answers,
that you can't explain what's true..
But, if you listen to your heart,
you'll know exactly what to do!!
You tell them that the world
is still a wonderful place.
You tell them not to judge,
or base anything on race.
You explain that this country is powerful and strong
and that what happened to Americans was terrible and wrong!!
Let our unity prove to all -
"NO, we won't be defeated!!"
And that a tragedy like this
must NEVER be repeated!!
You explain that there are people
who have made a solemn vow-
to always stand for freedom
and stand EVEN taller now!!
You explain that "peace"
is what we seek to share...
But no life is worth losing -
to their families, that's not fair!!
You tell them to keep believing
in the red, white and blue...
To just keep the faith,
and we'll all make it through!!
You tell them that you love them,
each and every day..
Any you promise "from your heart" that-
"YES, we'll be OKAY!!!!"
