[Verse 1]
A lonesome tear
A hungry face
A barren pain
A dream un chased
[Chorus]
Oh I can't wait until the day there's sunshine in their eyes
[Verse 2]
A prayer is heard
By one so small
Let love be in the
Hearts of all
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
You and I may never see them cry
Or wonder why the world's so cold
You feel that they're too young
To take a look around
But in their faces I can see the trouble all around
Today we must turn into lies
The truth already in their minds
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Oh my mother's worried cause she feels the world is ending
She believes that everything is coming to an end
Papa's staying real careful cause his brother Sam was robbed
Trying to buy just a loaf of bread for baby John
[Chorus 1]
See how the world escaped
All the streets turning bare
Most of the news is bad
Crime just feeds in the air
[Chorus 2]
Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening
[Chorus 3]
Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening
[Verse 5]
Cost of livings up, but the pay is low down
Hate to see the babies starve cause mamma can't be found
Sister lives alone, bolts and chains the door at night
Never ever walks an alley or a shorter way
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]
[Verse 6]
Father Bills gone fighting in a place where he's a stranger
But could men die a stranger in every war
We all hide in shame boldly pointing to another
When the blame we know for sure is right in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]
[Outro]
La la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah[x8]
[Fade]
