Only The Children

We keep hurting each other when words can't be easily said

No understanding or reason, just fear and confusion instead

We need hope for the future, and the young need a chance to survive

No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent, they're

Fighting to stay alive, can no one see the tears in their eyes



Chorus:

Only the children, only the children cry, only the children



Why do those who have plenty ignore those with nothing at all

Why must the ones just beginning, stand with their backs to the wall

They keep asking for answers and we keep on telling them lies

They only want to understand what they feel inside

The hunger that tears them apart

It's the one thing they've known from the start



Chorus - (only the children cry)



(instrumental break)
