WAR CHILD

Open your eyes, youíre still here 
Still safe, at peace in this world 
So great, youíre free 
You donít have to fight for your life 
But just say, just say 
Thereís fire from the sky 
And youíre 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 
Whoís 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 donít cry 
Oh no war child 

The struggle for power 
That grows by the hour 
Like the blood beneath her feet 
Dispering with heartache 
There must be somebody 
To help her in such need 
No one to hold her 
No one who really cares 
 
Open your eyes, youíre still here 
Still safe, at peace in this world 
So great, youíre free 
You donít have to fight for your life
