Our Future Generation

For all of the children in our lives who need us. We CAN make a difference.

Song: Future Generation
Artist: 4 Him
Video: created by Karen416, January 2007

Lyrics:
The signs are obvious, they are everywhere
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
Too many would be prophets saying
"Its the end of it all"
Because mother earth can't take much more
The hammers going to fall

So nature has its needs, that's a lesson learned
But it appears to me, there are greater concerns
Because we can't save the planet
Thinking we will somehow survive
But father time is calling us
To save somebody's life

So I won't bend and I won't break
I won't water down my faith
I won't compromise in a world of desperation
What has been I can not change
For tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations

If we could find a way to preserve our faith
So those who follow us
See the price that was paid
Then maybe when they question
What its going to take to survive
They'll find the strength to carry on
In what we leave behind

So I won't bend and I won't break
I won't water down my faith
I won't compromise in a world of desperation
What has been I can not change
For tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations

Looking in the eyes of the children
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
When the choice is up to them
Will they have the strength to say

We won't bend and we won't break
we won't water down our faith
We won't compromise in a world of desperation
What has been we can not change
For tomorrow and today
We must be a light for future generations

@ Ograws. Hang in there...... and check out the Facebook page, called "Live, Love,. Laugh". It will help you to feel better and more hopeful. :-)

wow i saw this same video in school

[Karen416]

Great! That's why I made it. So, it could empower teens to make a difference and see themselves as role models.

Today, April 16th, 2007, my heart and my prayers go out to ALL of the beautiful souls who lost their lives today at Virginia Tech. I pray for ALL of their families in their time of despair, sorrow and mourning. And, I pray for the wounded victims of todays massacre: May their hearts and minds heal as well as their physical wounds. You are ALL in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You All. Karen

Hi Catherine; I'm glad you liked my video. I work as a pediatric nurse practitioner, and many of my patients are from inner city and impoverished families. One of the messages I try to relay to the kids, is that even though they've experienced difficulties in life, it does not define them as a person or determine their future. And, that they too can be a positive role model for others. I would be honored if you would use my video to help the children in your program. Karen

I wish there wasn't so much hatred and everyone reached out to each other to help one another.
