The children of the revolution must grow into adults.

When all you can do is rant and rage

Better to think how you can console

When all you do is rattle the cage

Better to exhibit more self control

When revolution is your angry cause

Better choose peace than swing your sword

When you listen only to biased applause

Better seek an enemy to find your reward

When your heart is filled with bitter hate

Better to search for common ground

When all you do is demand and dictate

Better with love that your king be crowned.
