Toto - Only The Children lyrics

rate me

We keep hurting each other

When words can't be easily said

No understanding or reason

Just fear and confusion instead

We need hope for the future

And the young need a chance to survive

No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent

Wo are Fighting to stay alive

Can no one see the tears in their eyes

Only the children

Only the children cry

Only the children

Why do those who have plenty

Ignore those with nothing at all

Why must the ones just beginning

Stand with their backs to the wall

They keep asking for answers

And we keep on telling them lies

They only want to understand what they feel inside

The hunger that tears them apart

It's the one thing they've known

From the start

Only the children

Only the children cry

Only the children

Only the children cry

Only the children

Only the children cry

Only the children
