Art saves the soul from dying
Our lives are spent crying 
Tears of laughter 
Tears of  pain
And for what
Why?
What is the point of it all 
When a child can be robbed 
Of a life it never knew
Life is harsh, this is true 
Find someone to hold your hand 
It’ll all be ok
And in time we learn to forget 
And remember that 
Art saves the soul from dying
In a child’s face 
There is beauty
Transpose it to paint
Before time steals all youth’s grace
Help me escape 
Escape reality 
Escape sanity 
Escape to fantasy 
Art saves the soul 
But cannot stop the child 
from dying
