The Children

All of the people, look at the children

Play in the morning sun

All of the people, look at their children

Wishing that they were one

They all act like sinners, but they pray over dinner

Thankin the lord for their food

(La la la la la la la la la) if we don't fight any longer

(La la la la la la la la la) you know that we could be stronger

(La la la la la la la la la) and we could be so much better

(La la la la la la la la la) if we just stick together

All of the people, look at the children

Play in the morning sun

All of the people, look at their children

Wishing that they were one

Heavenly father, why is she crying

Did they take her only son

White picket fences, is all that defense is

Ain't that that how the west was won

Heavenly father, we'll get our karma

Look at just we've become

Invading and cheaters, we talk about freedom

And that's how the west was won

(La la la la la la la la la) if we don't fight any longer

...and there's more
