Anthem (For the Children)

Si vis pacem para bellun

It's the same all across the nations
The ones who suffer the most
Always victims, always mistreated
Not even a sign of hope

Wonder who's gonna live tomorrow
Wonder who's gone insane
Empty souls with a shell of iron
Life is just one big pain

Fear - I see the fear in their faces
Tears - I see the tears in their eyes

Save a prayer for the innocent
Their childhood's been taken away
It's an anthem for the children
They're always the ones who must pay
Save a prayer for the innocent
It happens right here and today
It's an anthem for the children
To make them refuse to obey

Never felt the joy of living
Never felt quite okay
Tell me how can they even make it
To another day

Wonder who's gonna live tomorrow
Wonder who's gone insane?
Empty souls with a shell of iron
Life is just one big pain

Fear - I see the fear in their faces
Tears - I see the tears in their eyes

Save a prayer for the innocent
Their childhood's been taken away
It's an anthem for the children
They're always the ones who must pay
Save a prayer for the innocent
It happens right here and today
It's an anthem for the children
To make them refuse to obey
