When The Children Cry

(album: Picking Up The Pieces - 2003)

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've destroyed
You must build again

When the children cry
Let 'em 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 the 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 'em 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've destroyed
You must build again

No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under God

When the children cry
Let 'em know we tried
And when the children fight
Let 'em know it ain't right
When the children pray
Let 'em know the way
Cause when the children sing
The new world begins
