When the Children Cry
Lyrics
Little child
Dry your crying eyes
How can I explain
The fear you feel inside
Cause you were born
Into this evil world
Where man is killing man
And no one knows just why
What we have become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
Chorus:
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
Little child
You must show the way
To a better day
For all the young
Cause you were born
For all the world to see
That we all can live
With love and peace
No more Presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world
Under God
Chorus:
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
What we have become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
No more Presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world
Under God
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
When the children fight
Let them know it ain't right
When the children pray
Let them know the way
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
Little child
Dry your crying eyes
How can I explain
The fear you feel inside
Cause you were born
Into this evil world
Where man is killing man
And no one knows just why
What we have become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
Chorus:
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
Little child
You must show the way
To a better day
For all the young
Cause you were born
For all the world to see
That we all can live
With love and peace
No more Presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world
Under God
Chorus:
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
What we have become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
No more Presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world
Under God
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
When the children fight
Let them know it ain't right
When the children pray
Let them know the way
Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
