I am the future of the world you say
And you say, “Leaders train your youth, for they are the children of today.”
But they don’t know me, you don’t know me
You don’t see me, how I Iong to be seen
Cause to you I’m just a thing of tomorrow
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you just see two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth?
That’s not me
That’s not my personality
That’s not my character
Or who I long to be
I want you to look at me
I want you to see me
The real me
Not just what I pretend to be
I want you to love me for who I am
And not who I seem to be
Know what’s inside of me
I want you to accept me, all of me
Calm my fears
Dry my tears
Cease The aches
Help me get over the pain
Of today, tomorrow, and yesterday
I am young and in need of grace
For it is grace, and mercy that got me where I am today
I am a child in need of forgiveness
In need of understanding
Of Loving
Leadership
Molding
Talk with me
Walk with me
All I need to know is that you care
And you will always be there
I don’t need a disciplinary
I get criticized everyday
For my hair
My looks
And what I wear
He saw and he knew me
Just like that didn’t judge me
He loved me from the very beginning
And looked into my heart
My mind, my soul
He knocked on my door
And when I opened it
He made me whole
He sees who I really am
And what I can be
He never once has doubted me
Through my pain and my sorrow
I know he’ll always be there
Like there’s no tomorrow
I need that from you
And I know you can’t give me all
But try to understand me
Love me
Just let me know that your there
And that you really do care
