Your Tomorrow

I took you gently by the hand
and showed you tomorrows world,
terror was in your eyes and on your tongue
as you screamed, pitifuly, stop;

I took you gently by the hand
and showed you yesterday,
showed you anguished voices ignored
and hands tied, helpless you clung to me;

Then I took you gently by the hand
and showed you today,
with a tongue of knowledge and a heart of fire
you showed us, a way.
