Children know more 

Than people realize

They think we're silly, pouty, bratty things to despise

Yet you hide us from the outside world

You hide us from danger

From people

From living

You think we are gullible 

and don't know a thing…

Boy,

Are you wrong

We solve problems

Change the world

Speak out 

We don’t sit around and pout

But being young

Comes in handy

And our lack of no experience is just dandy

Sure where foolish

But where also “foolish” 

enough to speak our minds 

even when we “should be” quiet 

And let the adults handle this one

We do this even while adults 

are afraid

Their afraid of being judged

Of being threatened

Of being shamed

We don’t care about that

We care about making ourselves heard 

while others are silent

I forgot to mention that where

Loud 

Very loud 

And when we speak our minds

And people realize that we know stuff 

And have a opinion 

That my friend makes us 

Proud
