Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo-ooo-oh-oh

Her feet are hurting, hot sun burning, but she's on her way
She's not the only one
The daughters and all the sons, they walk every day
Watoto (children)
Why you haffi work so hard, not enough time to play
Fight, fight, fight, stay alive
You're a survivor, so put on a brave face
Ooo lion, don't you cry
Remember now until it's over
You're my little soldier
Love will shine a light
Ooo lion, don't you cry
Will you remember what I told you
My reluctant soldier
Love will shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light
Love, love, love, lo-ooo-oh-ooo-ove
Youngest in the family, little man's seen the best of his days
His toys he played for fun, now he holds a gun with eyes full of hate
Tormented by memories, his mama screams wishing he could have stayed
Fight, fight, fight, stay alive
You're a survivor, so put on a brave face
Ooo lion, don't you cry
Remember now until it's over
You're my little soldier
Love will shine a light
Ooo lion, don't you cry
Will you remember what I told you
My reluctant soldier
Love will shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light
Give you love, love
So much suffering going on around me
Sometimes I wish I could close my eyes and run away
But if we learn how to love one another
Then we could all make a change
Ooo lion, don't you cry
Remember now until it's over
You're my little soldier
Love will shine a light
Ooo lion, don't you cry
Will you remember what I told you
My reluctant soldier
Love will shine a light
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Shine, shine, shine your light
Shine, shine, shine your light
Shine, shine, shine your light
Shine, shine, shine, shine your light
