Let Children Be Children
Let children be children,
He's not meant to be your clone.
Let children be children,
And see what they'll do on their own.
Sweet childish laughter,
See how God's smile broadens,
Innocent voices blend together,
Oh, the angels are silent just to hear the praise of children.
Let children be children;
Leave their sweetness alone.
Let children be children,
Don't tamper with the simple way their love is shown.
Discover the way children discover,
Laugh like the little ones who trust in God's care,
Don't teach them to sing of lost love and their lover,
Don't get them involved in everything, even if they think it's unfair.
Let children be children;
Theirs is the day in all its simplicity.
Teach children to be children
That they'll understand God and His serenity.
Let children be children,
For this is God's will.
Let children be children;
They don't need to always hold still.
Let children be children;
If God wanted them to be adults He would've made them that way.
Let children be children;
We can learn so much from how they learn and play.
Let children be children.
