TELL THAT BABY:

Never tell that baby, that this world is rotten,

With no smooth silk, only rough rasping cotton,

Never say, men are corrupt, suffer hunger & pain,

Never-ever tell that baby, that it cannot try again.

 

Please tell that tiny baby, that this world is beautiful,

Just show it how to be compassionate, kind & dutiful,

Teach it manners & respect, where these things are due,

Only tell that baby good things, it´s really just up to you.

 

Please show that baby, goodness & all life´s pretty things,

The flowers that bloom, the smiles & the bird that sings,

Let that baby know, that men can be gentle & so very kind,

Tell that baby, that all is beautiful & to never look behind.
