Innocent

Change

Born an innocent child

With a life ahead so clean and new

Decisions to be made,

Of a life that makes up you



On top of the world

The choices are endless

Will you do right or wrong?

It’s all just one big test



Peer pressure, power, fame

Worthless positions held so high

Smoking, stealing, drugs,

You think are worth the try



Mistakes that hurt you later,

The things you learned in school

You want to be the rebel,

You know its not, but say it’s cool



Probably grew up with a parent,

Who didn’t care, or didn’t know

I’m sure it must be sad,

To see how far you’re child didn’t go



Mistakes that never leave you

A scar that’s always there,

They made their own decisions,

And what they get is always fair



No matter how many times they here it

The words will not go through

In your heart you know what’s right

What you should, or shouldn’t do



Left with their own regrets

Going nowhere way to fast,

They need to change for the future,

And never bring back that old past



So please make good decisions,

Be smart, be wise, and be right

We were all born an innocent child,

And keeping your innocents is worth the fight!
