Hearts of the Innocent - Kutless

I'm looking down into the eyes of hopelessness

They're crying out to me, I see the pain

It's so much more than youth should know

It tears me apart

What can I do to change what I see

This vicious cycle must come to an end

Can't you see, we're crushing the hearts of the innocent

We're teaching them to fail and how it breaks me

To see how we're living and punishing the ones that need us to care

To see them hurting feels like knuckles to the back of my head

Where have the days gone

That a promise was forever, families stuck together

We wonder why their generation struggles to get by

There's no one to [Incomprehensible]

What can I do to change what I see

This vicious cycle must come to an end

Can't you see, we're crushing the hearts of the innocent

We're teaching them to fail and how it breaks me

To see how we're living and punishing the ones that need us to care

To see them hurting feels like knuckles to the back of my head

Can't you see, we're crushing the hearts of the innocent

We're teaching them to fail and how it breaks me

To see how we're living and punishing the ones that need us to care

To see them hurting feels like knuckles to the back of my head

Feels like knuckles to the back of my head
