(Chorus) x2
Don't take this, don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me
don't take this, don't take this world away from me
don't take this, don't take this world away
the future decides the roles we play
the struggles to sell the past away
the after thought is staring back on bad days
because our daughters and sons will live to pay
through every mistake that we have made
through every conviction we've betrayed
so let the children sing
(chorus)
don't take this, don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me
yeah
so while we contempt to waste away
the answer that only time could chase
the question we'll ask ourselves from here, to eternity
will it be worth the price to pay
to living the lives of our remains
how do you thing we will explain
let the children sing
(chorus)
don't take this, don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me
can he find a way
to face today
with the eye on the things to come
cause mistakes we've made
bring on decay
and our chance to make a difference will be gone
oh
yeah x2
so this is the price to pay (this is the price to pay)
for living in our remains (living in our remains)
just listen as the children sing
(chorus)
don't take this, don't take this world away (away)
don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me
