Special dedication to all the children living in war zones across the world that are experiencing danger and violence against their person every day. We hear your cries.
Our Children's Hearts Cry (draft pending finalization)
You see it your way,
They see it their way,
But somewhere in the middle,
Maybe peace can find a way today.
All the pain and all the war,
All the battles and all the scars,
Death on every side,
Until hope can no longer survive.
Tell me can we still hear,
Our children's hearts cry,
Through the bullets,
And all the bombs,
Through the truth,
And all the lies,
Can we still feel,
Our children's heartbeats,
Through the death,
And all the pain,
Through the shame,
And all the blame.
You blame them every day,
They blame you the same way,
But somewhere in the ruins of death,
Maybe life can survive and take a breath.
All the pain and all the war,
All the battles and all the scars,
Death on every side,
Until hope can no longer survive.
Tell me can we still hear,
Our children's hearts cry,
Through the bullets,
And all the bombs,
Through the truth,
And all the lies,
Can we still feel,
Our children's heartbeats,
Through the death,
And all the pain,
Through the shame,
And all the blame.
Tell me can we still feel,
Our children's hearts cry,
Can we still hear,
Our children's heartbeats,
Through the hurtful pain,
And all the human defeat,
Can we end the death,
And let life take a breath.
Because somewhere in the middle,
About halfway,
Maybe peace can find a way to live,
And survive today,
And maybe somewhere in the ruins of death,
Life can still survive and take a breath,
If only we can listen,
When our children's hearts cry.
Tell me can we still hear,
Our children's hearts cry,
Through the bullets,
And all the bombs,
Through the truth,
And all the lies,
Can we still feel,
Our children's heartbeats,
Through the death,
And all the pain,
Through the shame,
And all the blame.
You blame them every day,
They blame you the same way,
But somewhere in the middle,
About halfway,
Maybe peace can find a way to live,
And survive today,
And maybe somewhere in the ruins of death,
Life can still survive and take a breath,
If only we can listen,
When our children's hearts cry.
