The Children Are Crying

Don’t take this world away from me
Don’t take this world away from me
Don’t take this, don’t take this world away from me
Don’t take this world away
The future decides the roles we play
The struggles to sell the past away
The afterthought is staring back on better days
'Cause our daughters and sons will live to pay
Through every mistake that we have made
Through every conviction we’ve betrayed
So let the children sing
Don’t take this, don’t take this world away from me
Don’t take this world away from me
Yeah, so while we condemn to waste away
The answer that only time could trace
The question we’ll ask ourselves from here to eternity
Will it be worth the price to pay
To live in the rots of our remains?
How do you thing we will explain
When the children sing?
Don’t take this, don’t take this world away from me
Don’t take this world away from me
Can we find a way to face today
With the eye on the things to come?
'Cause mistakes we’ve made bring on decay
And our chance to make a difference will be gone
So this is the price to pay
For living in our remains
Just listen as the children sing
Don’t take this, don’t take this world away
Don’t take this, don’t take this world away from me
Don’t take this world away from me
