It's not such a strange situation
You've heard it all before
Someone needs a helping hand
And even the best of intentions
Sometimes they just aren't enough
So now is the hour to do all you can
Sometimes crying alone in the night
Across the ocean, across the highway
There but for the grace of God go you and I...
And the eyes of the children
Don't see black or white
There's not politics, no nations
On a cold and hungry night
The promises and visions
Are only just a start
But it's the eyes of the children
That keep the fire burning
Keep the fire burning in our hearts...
There is no use in pretending
That this will all go away
If somebody somewhere won't take a stand
And how much time would it take you
How much pain could you ease
And how many lives do we hold in our hands
Someone's crying alone in the night
Across the ocean, across the highway
There but for the grace of God go you and I...
And the eyes of the children
Don't see black or white
There's not politics, no nations
On a cold and hungry night
The promises and visions
Are only just a start
But it's the eyes of the children
That keep the fire burning
Keep the fire burning in our hearts...
And if you stop and think about it
Most of us have got it good
And if we try and find the answer
Well you know someday we night
Gotta try and make a difference
Gotta try and put things right...
And the eyes of the children
Don't see black or white
There's not politics, no nations
On a cold and hungry night
The promises and visions
Are only just a start
But it's the eyes of the children
That keep the fire burning
Keep the fire burning in our hearts...
