    A quaint little trippy tune reminding us that so many of our personality attributes were developed at a very early age. Although it may be a little late to change our childhoods to the way we wished them to be, it's not too late to make a positive change for the current little ones in our lives.

    Story Behind the Song
    I've often wondered at what point or age we forget the attention and extra care that children need. As an adult now, I realize it is easier to forget than we'd like to believe. I wrote this song as a reminder to myself to try to be a positive influence, and that kids don't need to grow up with the issues I have overcome, and have yet to overcome.

    This is only the second song I ever wrote. Originally written in 1986, and recorded in 1994.

    Lyrics
    For Them

    Tiny hands are reaching
    New eyes are shining
    Precious laughs are heard as
    Little legs are climbing

    Their little minds move
    A million miles a minute
    They take in all
    Their interest has no limit

    These are the next generation
    Their happiness will bring light into the world again
    These are the next generation
    Let's do it for them

    Why don't we lead them
    In the right direction
    Why can't we see how
    Our lives affect them

    We just don't see what
    Lingers in their thoughts
    We don't remember
    That we were young once

    These are the next generation
    Let's show em how to bring love back in to life again
    These are the next generation
    Let's do it for them

    (c) 1994 Backslash
