Little child dry your crying eyes
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
'Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man
And no one knows just why
What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins

Little child, you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
'Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under God

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under God

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
When the children fight
Let them know it ain't right
When the children pray
Let them know the way
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
