Troubled by a dream. I open my eyes to find. Darkness all around me. Fading phantoms in my mind. But their voices broke the silence. Resounding in my ear. Your fathers before. Have opened the door. But where do you stand today? Chorus Children of the heroes A river of tears I've seen While on a higher plane The message from our forefathers claimed That it's up to you and me To set our children free. No more shackles on your feet.
Mind enslave yet walking free. In pursuit of your dreams Forget not Forget not your legacy. All around our brothers are dying Hear your sons and daughters cry. Surely we'll survive There is hope for tomorrow For the children for the children Chorus x2 Children of the heroes A river of tears I've seen While on a higher plane The message from our forefathers claimed That it's up to you and me To set our children free.
