Solace in Solitude

Solace In Solitude

Verse 1
In classrooms where they should learn and grow,
Subjects are replaced with what they shouldn’t know.
Sex education at too young an age,
Innocence lost, in a misguided rage.

Pre-Chorus
Early sexualization, crossing the line,
Stealing their childhood, before it’s time.
Academic focus, left in the past,
In this rush, they’re growing up too fast.

Chorus
Innocence lost, where’s the line we draw?
In this overreach, we see the flaw.
Focus on essentials, let children be,
In the quest for knowledge, we set them free.

Verse 2
Controversial lessons, too much to bear,
Young minds exposed, it’s just not fair.
Inappropriate practices, shaping their views,
In this confusion, they’re left to choose.

Pre-Chorus
Early sexualization, crossing the line,
Stealing their childhood, before it’s time.
Academic focus, left in the past,
In this rush, they’re growing up too fast.

Chorus
Innocence lost, where’s the line we draw?
In this overreach, we see the flaw.
Focus on essentials, let children be,
In the quest for knowledge, we set them free.

Bridge
Let them learn in their own time,
Respect their pace, their minds will climb.
Comprehensive lessons, too soon to show,
In the heart of education, let them grow.

Chorus
Innocence lost, where’s the line we draw?
In this overreach, we see the flaw.
Focus on essentials, let children be,
In the quest for knowledge, we set them free.

Outro
In the balance of teaching, we must find,
The space for children to free their mind.
In the pursuit of truth, we redefine,
The path of learning, in its own time.

Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
