Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

listen to the childrens' call
listen to them call

hear them call
their eyes wide open

hear them call
their arms outstretched

hear them call
through their tears

hear them call

[quiet now
listen]

hear them?

that is the sound of innocence

sometimes the sound of joy
too often the sound of fear

theirs is the voice of truth,
reflecting the state of the world
we live in...

listen to the children call
listen to them call

...who will answer
the call of the children?

the silence
echoes --
not I
not I
not I

the silence is waiting --
it can be broken
by even a whisper
