In the days of fragile dreams where innocence was pure
A world of endless wonder seemed so safe and sure
But cruelty knows no bounds and shadows swiftly fall
On hearts unscarred by sorrow they heed the silent call
Oh where is mercy in this world so cold?
Where are the gentle hands for hearts to hold?
The laughter fades to silence in the night so long
Young souls bear the burden of a world gone wrong
Eyes that once shone brightly now veiled by unseen tears
In the stillness of the night they whisper all their fears
A tale of stolen childhoods lost in the harsh light
Of a world that has no mercy for the young at night
Oh where is mercy in this world so cold?
Where are the gentle hands for hearts to hold?
The laughter fades to silence in the night so long
Young souls bear the burden of a world gone wrong
In the hush of twilight where shadows intertwine
We seek a spark of kindness a sign of the divine
To heal the wounded spirits to mend the broken trust
In the hearts of the forgotten who've turned to dust
Oh where is mercy in this world so cold?
Where are the gentle hands for hearts to hold?
The laughter fades to silence in the night so long
Young souls bear the burden of a world gone wrong
In the hush of twilight where shadows intertwine
We seek a spark of kindness a sign of the divine
In the hush of twilight where shadows intertwine
We seek a spark of kindness a sign of the divine
