alleviate

How do I stop your ever spinning world

To protect you from what you heard

The rumors

the lies

Swirling around you now

 

I know what you desire

What you want to have

The vision in your head

Why must you deal

With these issues in life

 

I can't protect you

from the world my dear

I can't alleviate any of the fear

 

I can make a stand

So you can stand tall

I can pay the lawyers

To be the wall

 

I can take them down

But it won't change it for you

 

It can only change what others will do

 

The next time

The next time

The next time

 

After our time

    I think that when we read autobiographies written a thousand years ago, parents had similar concerns. Every once and a while I see something that a young person does or says and I think yes, the world will go on and good things will happen.
