little child, dry your cryin eyes
how can I explain the fear you feel inside
because 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 weve destroyed you must build again
(chorus)
when the children cry, let em know we tried
because when the children sing then the new world begins
(2nd verse)
little child you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
because 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
(chorus)
(solo) x2
what have we become just look what we have done
all that weve 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
when the children fight, let em know it aint right
when the children pray, let em know the way
because when the children sing, then the new world begins
