A soldier boy falls to his knees
~#**************#~
And a woman cries in joy and pain
~#**************#~
When will we all live in peace again?
~#**************#~
A child is born where the wild wind blows
~#**************#~
In a country torn from the south to the north
~#**************#~
And a family runs from day to day
~#**************#~
When will we see our home again?
~#**************#~
When will we see the simple truth
~#**************#~
That the only thing thats worth a damn
~#**************#~
The life of a child is more than a forest
~#**************#~
The life of a child is more than a border
~#**************#~
Could ever be;
~#**************#~
A child is born in the desert sun
~#**************#~
A tiny life has just begun
~#**************#~
And a mother cries for her hungry babe
~#**************#~
When will I feed my boy again?
~#**************#~
A child is born to an ordinary home
~#**************#~
East or west, it could be anyone
~#**************#~
But we all want to know
~#**************#~
Will my child survive to see the day
~#**************#~
When we will be secure again?
~#**************#~
When will we see the simple truth
~#**************#~
That the only thing thats worth a damn
~#**************#~
The life of a child is more than a forest
~#**************#~
The life of a child is more than a border
~#**************#~
The life of a child is more than a region
~#**************#~
The life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity
~#**************#~
We must believe, for the sake of humanity
~#**************#~
We must believe…
~#**************#~
For the sake of humanity, we must believe
