Children of the World
by Jacob Moon

Album: Maybe Sunshine

Verse 1:
The voice crying out in the dark
Will never break down this wall
Or break my stony heart
If I don't answer that call

Coming from somewhere a million miles away from paradise
They prey on the young and they tell all kinds of lies
Like 'We're just going for a little ride...it's gonna be ok'
'We'll be back before daylight...'

Chorus
Hear me praying now Lord


Verse 2
Can someone explain to me why nobody's standing guard
I cover my ears and my eyes but reality hits back hard
As the money flies and the nations play their games
See the desperate eyes of the children bound and chained

The youngest of the young
Will be the first to go
They won't stop til they're done

Chorus:
Hear me prayin now
Lord will you watch over the children of the world
Cause it's a terrifying road now for the children of the world
Lord will you watch over the children of the world
Cause it's a backbreaking load now for the
Children of the world

Bridge:
Child soldiers in the Sudan
They're training killers in Afghanistan
But whose war is it anyway
We've seen enough unmarked graves
A generation of burned out slaves
But whose child is it anyway
Whose child is it anyway?

Chorus 3:
Lord will you watch over the children of the world
Cause it's a terrifying road now for the children of the world
Lord will you watch over the children of the world
Cause it's a backbreaking load now for the
Children of the world
Lord will you make us brave
To free the children and the slaves
Lord bring your justice to the
Children of the world
