when the children cry

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 have we become

Just look what we have done

All that we destroyed

You must build again


When the children cry

Let them know we tried

'cause when the children sing

Then thee new world begins


Little child

You must show the way

To a better day

For all the young

'cause you were born

For the world to see

That we all can live

In light and peace


No more presidents

And all the wars will end

One united world under God


When the children cry

Let them know we tried

'cause when the children sing

Then the new world begins


What have we 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

'cause when the children fight

Let them know it ain't right

When the children break

Let them know we're awake

'cause when the children sing

The new world begins
