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

but 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 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



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

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
