The Voice Crying out in the Dark

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD JACOB MOON

The voice crying out in the dark Will never break down this wall Or break my stony heart If I don't answer that call

Coming from somewhere a million miles away from paradise They prey on the young and they tell all kinds of lies Like 'We're just going for a little ride...it's gonna be ok' 'We'll be back before daylight...'

Hear me praying now Lord

Can someone explain to me why nobody's standing guard I cover my ears and my eyes but reality hits back hard As the money flies and the nations play their games See the desperate eyes of the children bound and chained

The youngest of the young Will be the first to go They won't stop til they're done

Hear me prayin now Lord will you watch over the children of the world Cause it's a terrifying road now for the children of the world Lord will you watch over the children of the world Cause it's a backbreaking load now for the Children of the world Child soldiers in the Sudan They're training killers in Afghanistan But whose war is it anyway We've seen enough unmarked graves A generation of burned out slaves But whose child is it anyway Whose child is it anyway?

Hear me prayin now Lord will you watch over the children of the world Cause it's a terrifying road now for the children of the world Lord will you watch over the children of the world Cause it's a backbreaking load now for the Children of the world

Lord will you make us brave To free the children and the slaves Lord bring your justice to the Children of the world
