The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them
Wrapped up in grief and warfare
They took from them what was gold and pure

and stripped their souls clean and bare

Can

You
Feel
The heart beat inside

Beating hard

They're calling out for redemption

For themselves
Smoke fills the air tonight
And faces glow from the cannon light


The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them
Wrapped up in grief and warfare

They took from them what was gold and pure
and stripped their souls clean and bare


They need more
They need more
They need more

They need more
They need more
They need more

They need more

Smoke fills

The air tonight
And faces
Glow from the cannon light

They paid their respects
By taking their way of life
And replacing it for what they say is right


The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them
Wrapped up in grief and warfare

They took from them what was gold and pure
and stripped their souls clean and bare


(The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them
Wrapped up in grief and warfare
They took from them what was gold and pure

and stripped their souls clean and bare)
