Time, way out of line
A whole nation waits outside
The rhythm of tomorrow
Dance away their sorrows tonight
Lost, broken and scarred
Prisoner waits outside
With his lone heart beating
Let the children, let the children
Let the children speak
Let the children, let the children speak
Aims, dangerous games
Their mother says one false move
And we all get hurt
I feel this sense of power
I feel it every hour tonight
Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy 'cause
One more kick and the door slides open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
I'm begging you now, let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy 'cause
One more kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
Things could get crazy tonight
Let's not get lazy 'cause
One last kick and the door cracks open
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak
I'm begging you now, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Let the children
