Youth
We’ve been trying to understand the

Why people love to hate how the
violence came to be
The answer to this question may not
be ours just yet
But it doesn’t mean well give up
living for the goals we’ve set

3. Chorus:
Youth serving youth, moving
out to those who need us
Shaping a world that will
soon be on our own
Youth serving youth not
afraid to take the challenge to be
the bearers of love
And signs of all that we
believe.

4. Let’s join our hands together
now, to build a better place
Were love, peace and

We share its light to all
around us to start a brand
