children

wake me up
from the soundest sleep
with strength enough
to stand and sing
my heart is breaking
to hear the truth
and we are missing
6000 children

and we know why
yet they dare not say
why some men think
it's an even trade
my heart is breaking
to hear the truth
and they are missing
6000 children

an eye for an eye
and an eye for that eye
'cause that man thought
you just weren't right

an eye for an eye
and the blind fight the blind
enraging youth
caught in the fire

my heart is breaking to hear the truth
and we are missing too many children
