Lament
This is the world I meantCouldn't you listen?Couldn't you stay content?Safe behind walls, as I could notNow you know what's out there in the worldNo one can prepare you for the world, even IHow could I, who loved you as you wereHow could I have shielded you from her or them?No matter what you sayChildren won't listenNo matter what you knowChildren refuse to learnGuide them along the wayStill they won't listenChildren can only growFrom something you loveTo something you lose
