Let the Children Play - LIONSHEART

A mother cries alone tonight

In a room with empty arms

Baby flies on the wind, her angel wings

Devil’s hand works alone tonight

In a world of blackened hearts

Baby flies on the wind, her angel wings

Innocence gone into the flame

Angels in heaven crying in vain

I got the news on the wire today

It cut me to the bone

Children lying in a field of fire

Then I heard tormented screams

A woman pained in grief

Children dying in the field of fire

Innocence gone into the flame

Angels in heaven crying out in vain

Let the children play

Let the children play

Just let them see another day

Thunder rips the sky in two

In a blazing feast of flame

The papers said that the children died

In a blood-for-money game

Anger rages through my heart

And the smoke, it blacks the skies

Hell-bent on insanity

As another baby dies

Innocence gone into the flame

Angels in heaven crying out in vain

Let the children play

Let the children play

Just let them see another day

Let the children play

See another day

See another day

Got the news on the wire today

It cut me through and through

Still the blind lead the blind alone

Is there nothing we can do?

Let the children play

Let the children play

Let the children play

Let the children play

Let the children play

Let the children play

Let the children play

Let the children play
