On a rainy night in LA A little baby cries It's mother stares in horror And watches her son die In a far off land across the sea A thousand children cry Empty stomachs filled with pain A thousand children die Why are all the children crying? Why are all their eyes so dim? Why are all the children crying? Why have we forgotten them? Another heart stops beating Another one begins One child's life has started One child's has to end Born into a heartless world They need someone to care Will we five our love to them Or will we stand and stare Why are all the children crying? Why are all their eyes so dim? Why are all the children crying? Why have we forgotten them?
