If Children Were in Charge #kidsarethebest

Tiny shoes on the playground sand. Juice boxes in sticky hands They make new friends ten seconds in It doesn't matter the color of their skin They fight over a box of crayons Then share the broken blue They find a way to work it out I wish that we could too If children ran the world We'd be at peace No more wars No fighting in the streets Just hopscotch drawn with different colored chalk Sharing snacks and taking time to talk Life wouldn't be so hard If children were in charge They sleep through our headlines Too young to know the mess we've made They always wake up happy Can't wait to start another day They sing their favorite songs And dance in mismatched socks Life would be a dream If children were in charge If children ran the world We'd be at peace No more wars No fighting in the streets Just hopscotch drawn with different colored chalk Sharing snacks and taking time to talk Life wouldn't be so hard If children were in charge There's so much we can learn from kids. How to love How to forgive Can't we let them try for just a bit? If children ran the world We'd be at peace No more wars No fighting in the streets Just hopscotch drawn with different colored chalk Sharing snacks and taking time to talk Life wouldn't be so hard If children were in charge They fight over a box of crayons Then share the broken blue They find a way to work it out I wish that we could too...
