War Child

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 For children in the street, 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 Despairing with heartache, there must be somebody To help her in such need No one to hold her, no one who really cares Oh please, don't cry Oh no, war child Oh please, don't cry Oh no, war child 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, war child Oh please, don't cry Oh no, war child Oh please, don't cry Oh no, war child
