Where are the children we lost not long ago Feel for the Mothers who weep for them I pray for the Fathers who are standing by their side In their world of pain and suffering Have you ever seen the look in a hungry child's eyes They can't eat money or promises Give them your smile and try holding out your hand Let them know you're there, let them know you're there Chorus Why is it always the ones that we love Are the ones that will never come home Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll Always remember the voice in your head Speaks to you when you're alone And it comforts you From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul You can swim in a river of tears they cry For they sleep on the winds of uncertainty Show us a sign and make us believe again There's no other way, oh, there's no other way Chorus
