Oh young minds, so young
Anxiety fills your hearts
Futures in doubt
Disillusioned ones
Politicians, a letdown
Hope is wearing thin
Today's teenagers
Pessimistic views emerge
A troubled outlook
The world seems uncertain
Gloomy clouds hover above
Darkness fills the air
But remember this
Even in the darkest times
There's still room for light
Hold on to your dreams
Fight for a better future
Your voice can bring change
Oh teenagers, dear
The world's weight upon your shoulders
You are not alone
Through the troubled days
Find solace in your own strength
A beacon of hope
Believe in yourself
Rise above the disillusion
Shatter their false words
For you hold the power
To shape the course of this world
And build a new dawn
Oh young minds, be brave
Facing fear with resilience
The future is yours
