WEEP FOR THE CHILDREN

Weep
If you want to weep
Weep for the Children
~~*~~

Children, they are innocent
Vulnerable, naive
They need love and attention
Protection, serenity
So many children suffer
From intolerance and pain
People with cold, empty hearts
They are the ones to blame

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Weep for the children
Deprived of love and care
Grieve for the babies
Who will perish in despair
Weep for the children
And do your part today
Weep for the children
Help deliver them from pain
Weep for the children
~~*~~
Heavy-hearted children
With sorrow in their eyes
Wincing with each movement
Of the ones who gave them life
Reaching for a drop of
Any warmth that they can find
Hands returning hopeless
Discarded, left behind

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
If everyone who has a heart
Could find a way to do their part
Give promises which they intend to keep
There wouldn't be so many children
Children who invoke our need to weep
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Weep for the children
Deprived of love and care
Grieve for the babies
Who will perish in despair
Weep for the children
And do your part today
Weep for the children
Help deliver them from pain
Weep for the children
~~*~~
~~~*~~~
If you want to weep
Weep for the children
~~*~~~
