Cry for the Children

Slow down everyone pay attention

Let us reason for a while

I'm worried about this every day killing

That is turning into style

Don't try to convince it's normal

Playing with human lives

I don't know about you

But I know it brings tears to my eyes

And I cry for the children

And I pray for them

That someday consciousness will once again

Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

Now I'm tired of all the goings on around us everyday

How did the little bitty innocent babies become pray by the way

How could we allow ourselves to go so far

I'm almost certain wе've forgotten who we arе

I'm wide awake in a dream that never ends

And my heart cries out for help everyday

And I cry for the children

And I pray for them

That someday consciousness will once again

Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

Oh yeah oh yeah I pray Lord I pray

How many more lives do you need for your games

'Cause we're counting

How many more mothers will you leave in pain

'Cause it's mounting

Could you give me a time or a day

How much longer we will have to wait

Will there be sunshine and no trace of crime when I wake

And I cry for the children

And I pray for them

That someday consciousness will once again

Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

And I cry for the children

And I pray for them

That someday consciousness will once again

Be the answer to our prayers oh yeah

I pray said I pray I pray I pray
