When the Children Cry

[angelcat]

With all this talk of war around here, I found this song appropriate....


When the Children Cry

little child
dry your crying eyes
how can I explain
the fear you feel inside
cause you were born
into this evil world
where mas is killing man
and no one knows just why
what we have become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again

when the children cry
let them 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 all the world to see
taht 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 them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

what we have become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again
no more presidents
and all the wars will end
one united world
under god

when the children cry
let them know we tried
when the children fight
let them know it ain't right
when the children pray
let them know the way
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

White lion

Very good song and appropriate for the situation

Very nice and poignant, AC.

Appropriate also because I saw so many small Iraqi kids terrorized by the bombing noises on BBC World that the sooner the war is over the better.

That's a great song AC, now I'm all mistyVery appropriate now

[upinya]

Very nice song.. But the song "WAR PIGS" comes to mind, when I think about all that's goin' on

[skuz]

White Lion, one of my favorite old bands.

No matter if you're for or against the war, you can also check Warsong from the same band.

One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)

Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Chorus:
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Chorus (x2)
