Little child,my eyes they see your pain
My heart cries,when i hear you cry again
Frail and small,can you believe fifteen years old?
What is sad,he hasn't got far to go oh,oh oh, no no!
Mothers die,leaving hungry mouths behind
They can't hold on when god wants them by his side
It's up to me,it's up to you
Visualize and pray is what we mustn't forget to do
Yes we'll cry
Our hearts they fell no hate
Babies scream, babies scream they'll never achieve their dreams
Shall we dance,yes we'll dance the sky will hear our song
And maybe rain, co's its been much too long
Dry land open up and let me in
Dry land look what is
Happening you know there's plenty,plenty,plenty of work to do
This can't go down as another disaster in history
This can't go down as another disaster in history
