When The Children Cry Lyrics - Anthology '83-'89 - White Lion

Little child 

Dry your crying eyes 

How can I explain 

The fear you feel inside? 

'Cause 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 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 

That 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 have we 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
