Can'tcha Hear The Children Calling

(الألبوم: Womagic - 1986)

Can't you hear?
Can't you hear the children calling?
This world is slowly falling
All around, 'round the world
Little boys and girls
Stop and take a real good listen
There's already too many missing
Little boys and girls
All around the world

Might happen in your own backyard
If you don't wake up it could get so hard
(Think about it)
Oh, you better think about it
(Think about it)

So let's try to turn it around (turn it around)
If we can't turn it around
If we can't
Maybe we could slow it down
Let's try to slow it down

Can't you hear the children calling?
This world is slowly falling
All around the world (all around the world)
Little boys and girls (all around the world)
Stop, take a real good listen (stop and take a real good listen)
There's already too many missing
All around the world (all around the world)
Little boys and girls (all around the world)

Don't be blinded to the truth
Walking around in a trance
If we all fall apart
The kids don't stand a chance
Oh, oh we need to think about it
(Think about it)

Let's try to turn it around
Ooh, let's try to turn it around
If we can't
Maybe we could slow it down
Let's try to slow it down

If we can't turn it around
Let's try to turn it around
If we can't
Maybe we could slow it down
Let's try to slow it down

(Let's find a way)
(Let's find a way)
(Let's find a way)

Think of the price we're paying
Generations afraid of playing
Playing in the sun (in the sun)
Taught to trust no one
No one, no one, no one (trust no one, no one)
And every time they meet, meet a stranger
All they see or feel is danger
The harm is done
Too much damage is done

Can't you hear the children calling?
This world is slowly falling
All around the world (all around the world)
Too many boys and girls (all around the world)
Stop, stop and take a real good listen
There's already too many missing
All around the world (all around the world)
Too many boys and girls (all around the world)

Can't you hear, children (can't you hear the children calling?)
Don't you hear 'em calling?
Their world is falling
(All around the world)
All around the world
(All around the world)
You better stop
(Stop and take a real good listen)
Stop and take a real good listen
There's already too many missing
