Let them frolic and enjoy the sun; Let them feel cherished and loved. Present them with their birthright-- Their charming innocence And cheerful outlook in life. Permit them to learn--to grow; Allow them to be themselves; Protect them from bullies and fiends. For, isn't it our sacred duty To prepare this world for them? How dare we give birth to children; Then, leave them to fend for themselves? Or, even introduce them to early labor And horrendous abuse before they can Defend their little forts? I say, let children be children; Bestow the legacy that they deserve! "Let Children Be Children!" Let them frolic and enjoy the sun; Let them feel cherished and loved. Present them with their birthright-- Their charming innocence And cheerful outlook in life. Permit them to learn--to grow;
