Lyrics
War Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Open your eyes, you're still here
Still safe, at peace in this world
So great, you're free
You don't have to fight for your life
But just say, just say
There's fire from the sky
And you're burning alive
Why all this pain and
Poison in her mind
What can you change
When hatred made her blind soldiers
No reason to look into her eyes
No one to hold her
No one who really cares
Lifeless expressions
Destroyed all conceptions
Who's there to help you
When all is forgotten and
Torn apart by fear
No one to hold her
No one who really cares
Oh please don't cry
Oh no war child
The struggle for power
That grows by the hour
Like the blood beneath her feet
Dispering with heartache
There must be somebody
To help her in such need
No one to hold her
No one who really cares
Open you eyes, you're still here
Still safe, at peace in this world
So great, you're free
You don't have to fight for your life
War child
