War Child
War Child
you cry on the screen
I cry with you
a hungry mouth to feed
eyes wide open
staring at the sky without a mother
look at you there
among the broken pieces
who's gonna take care of you
tell me, who's gonna sing you to sleep
who's gonna tell you noone's gonna hurt you
alone in the world of the grown ups
you weren't just a mistake
but who's gonna mend the world
who's gonna fix the leaks just for you
look at you in the midst of war little baby all alone
out of my reach little baby
can I make a difference
I'm not your mother
but the bombs keep falling
and here the money's rolling
I can send you some money
hoping it will reach you
or will they just miss out on you
sad big eyes tell me someone will take you by the hand
and guide you through the hungry land
