War Child

Open your eyes, you're still here, still safe
At peace in this world, so great, you're free
You don't have to fight for your life
But just say, just say, there's fire from the sky
And you're burning alive
Why all this pain and poison in her mind?
What can you change when hatred made her blind?
Soldiers, no reason to look into her eyes
No one to hold her, no one who really cares
Lifeless expressions, destroyed all conceptions
For children in the street, who's there to help you
When all is forgotten and torn apart by fear?
No one to hold her, no one who really cares
Oh please, don't cry
Oh no, war child
The struggle for power, that grows by the hour
Like the blood beneath her feet
Despairing with heartache, there must be somebody
To help her in such need
No one to hold her, no one who really cares
Oh please, don't cry
Oh no, war child
Oh please, don't cry
Oh no, war child
Open your eyes, you're still here, still safe
At peace in this world, so great, you're free
You don't have to fight for your life, war child
Oh please, don't cry
Oh no, war child
Oh please, don't cry
Oh no, war child
