[Intro]
Silent nights, broken dreams, whispered screams in quiet streams
[Verse 1]
In a world torn apart, a child's fragile heart
Caught in the crossfire, where innocence departs
They tossed a gun into my trembling hands
A tiny soldier in a violent land
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes wide with fear, I whisper a prayer
Amidst the chaos, I find no one there
A question in my mind, a cry in my soul
Why does this war take its toll?
[Chorus]
Oh God, tell me why, why must children cry?
Why do innocent lives have to die?
Let peace break through, make the darkness flee
Set the children free, let love be the key
[Verse 2]
Parents gone, shadows linger on
In the silent night, I struggle and hold on
No helping hands, just a trembling child
Fighting for her life, so scared and so mild
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes wide with fear, I whisper a prayer
Amidst the chaos, I find no one there
A question in my mind, a cry in my soul
Why does this war take its toll?
[Chorus]
Oh God, tell me why, why must children cry?
Why do innocent lives have to die?
Let peace break through, make the darkness flee
Set the children free, let love be the key
[Bridge]
Dreams of a peaceful dawn, where hope is reborn
No more tears, no more fears, just a brand new morn
Hand in hand, we'll stand, in love we'll fight
For a world where wrong turns into right
[Outro]
Free us, oh Lord, from this pain and despair
Bring a dawn so fair, show us you care
Let the children smile, let the world heal
Make love the seal, in your holy zeal
