We are the children
Every life so precious
Sometimes I think
That god will soon forget us
We gun down our brothers
Who stand in freedom's name
Discover our preachers
Sinning without shame
Falling stars raining fire from the sky
tell me why. I bow my head this night
Help us to see
(Chorus:)
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord our souls to keep
Peace on earth, bring peace on earth tonight
A baby cries
His country has no food to spare
Lonely old man
Nowhere to sleep, no one who cares
We choose to destroy the beauty god gave us to share
We're running out of time
Will we try or will we die
I bow my head this night
Help us see
(Chorus)
I believe
That when it rains His tears are falling
I believe that somewhere He can hear us calling out
Falling stars raining fire from the sky
Will we die? I bow my head this night
Help us to see
(Chorus)
