Childrens' Eyes
(can be sung to Battle Hymn of the Republic tune)
These eyes have seen the sadness of the children in a war
They are red and tired, squinting blurred, its all been seen before
Has the message gone right by us as the tides erode the shore
The childrens' eyes tell all
*
Peace and love can come between us, you and me the world can see us
Peace and love will ever free us
The childrens' eyes tell all
*
I have tried to do my duty and forget the pain inside
But, the burning fire, the searing rush says speak out or you'll die
The time has come to bear the truth, for us to damn the tide
The childrens' eyes tell all
*
Peace and love can come between us, you and me the world can see us
Peace and love will ever free us
The childrens' eyes tell all
