Kutless - Hearts Of The Innocent Lyrics

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
