GIVE THE YOUNG CHANCE

Ours the future hold close 
For a time [bad word] 
Deep in your heart there's a river that flows
All the way to [bad word] 
Through the sandstorms where the high wind blows
desert road does bloom
Please help me…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My people
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It's written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don't listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are jewels

Deeds I've done what I've [bad word] 
Treasures I will find
Nourishment I do receive
Can't help but believe
The road is long I shall stay strong 
Please hear my song
Help me…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My brothers 
Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My sisters
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It's written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don't listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are jewels

Take me to gardens where
Birds will sing lullabies
Find me in the shade of trees
Through gentle breeze
Sweet scents filled the air…

Give the young a chance
Lead them in the dance
My people
Give the young a chance
To change their circumstance
And so… And so… It's written:
As the moon shall turn the tides
And as the stars shall light your ride
Don't listen to the words of fools
The young I know they are jewels
