Have you ever listened

To the words a poet said

Entranced by the magic

Of the secrets in their head

Where the world keeps turning

Into a place where faith dies

Somewhere up in heaven

The silent angels cry

Have you listened to the soldier

Returning from the war

Do you even know

What he was fighting for

For in the midst of battle

He watched his brethren die

And the scars on his body

They tell no lies

Have you listened to the children

Dancing in the rain

Just to let their innocence

Wash away the pain

For the poet and the soldier

In the children see

The love and innocence

Lost to you and me
