They cry in sorrow,
Their time they borrow,
The children of tomorrow.
They shed tears,
They've seem our worst fears,
They've walked through
our sorrow,
The children of tomorrow.
They are every where,
Saying a silent prayer,
Under God's star,
They wish for peace,
and the end of war.
They cry in sorrow,
Their time they borrow,
The children of tomorrow.
Who can take away their pain,
As the walk in acid rain,
They cry in sorrow,
The children of tomorrow.
What have we left,
of our world's dying wealth.
I look around in sorrow,
I cry for the children
of tomorrow.
