People moan and complain
Saying out loud
What kind of world are we leaving for our kids
They look to the leadership
To solve all their woes
Look to healthcare
And doctors and religious leaders, too
You go back and forth
To work and whatever
And don’t give a thought about who it is
That taught the world to be this way in the first place
Its the parents and grandparents
All who’ve come before
Who pass on tradition
And try to control
They teach their kids how
To be a carbon copy of themselves
Then they wonder why
The world is this way
It doesn’t happen by accident
It’s not out of your control
If you want the world to flourish
You have to start with yourself
You can’t expect to be happy
And get positive results
If all you teach is sorrow and greed
Selfishness and guilt
It’s science you see
You reap what you sow
If you want to see good deeds
From the children you sprout
You have to teach them how
To be positive within themselves
You can’t feed them negativity
And expect something else
To come out in the end result
What you feed grows
It begins in the home
By showing them how
You can feed a new world
You’re creating it now
Your children are the new world
They’re the ones who’ll carry on
The respect that you teach them
Appreciation and wisdom
Sacredness and love
This is our place
This planet of ours
We are the generation that will make the world great again
But what does that mean
Love and compassion
Respect for all beings
If you want a world like that
One that loves all as the same
You have to begin to understand the mind control game
It all begins with you and your kids
And what comes out of your own living room
Everything that goes on in there
Is reflected in the truth out here
So decide now, dear parents
What kind of world are you creating for your treasures
Where do you place your value
I ask you this because you know
As well as I do
Children learn what they live
And they are watching you
