eyes of a child

i'm complaining, you're complaining, we all are complaining
that the world needs to be a better place
people slaying, babies paying a debt that they don't owe
and we just shake our heads and wonder why

well, the so-called people that are tearing this world apart
they weren't just born that way
it takes some hard work and determination to learn how to hate
and the first ones that it's taught to
is to the eyes of a child

do do do do do do do...

i point the finger, you point the finger, we all point the finger
that the cure is clearly out of our hands
the truth about it, and don't you doubt it
responsibility lies on you and me for woman, child and man

well, the lives we lead are the determining factors
aboard this planet earth because
it's gonna take some hard work and determination to demonstrate true love
and the first ones that we gotta show it to
is to the eyes of a child

do do do do do do do...

well, it may seem like i'm preaching, but i'm only teaching
from experience, that's something i can't buy
so you'd better take a listen 'cause the love is missin'
but if we work together, we can work it out, work it out yeah

do do do do do do do...
