We Are Children

(album: World In Motion - 1996)

Like the silence of the sea
Like the shadow of a tree
Like the desert needs the rain
We are children of this world
Like a rainbow on a mountain high
Like the prayers never lie
Like a flower beyond your reach
We are children of this world
And we'll be free

Eternally
Like a circle never ends
Unselfish
Like the mother understands
Incalculable
Like a candle in the wind
We are children of this world
And we let it in

Like a circle never ends
Like the mother understands
Like the candle in the wind
We are children of this world
And we'll be free
Like the silence of the sea
Like the shadow of a tree
Like the desert needs the rain
We are children of this world
And we'll be free

Understanding
Is the way into a world of happiness
We all have the same destination
We are children of this world's

Unreachable
Like a rainbow on a mountain high
Unfeelable
Like the prayers never lie
Inaccessible
Like a flower beyond your reach
We are children of this world
Don't teach just preach

Like the rainbow on a mountain high
Like the prayers never lie
Like the flower beyond your reach
We are children of this world
And we'll be free
Like the silence of the sea
Like the shadow of a tree
Like the desert needs the rain
We are children of this world
Of peace and harmony
Like the rainbow on a mountain high
Like the prayers never lie
Like a flower beyond your reach
We are children of this world
And we'll be free
