Open your eyes, you're still here Still safe, at peace in this world So great, you're free You don't have to fight for your life But just say, just say There's fire from the sky And you're burning alive Why all this pain and Poison in her mind What can you change When hatred made her blind soldiers No reason to look into her eyes No one to hold her No one who really cares Lifeless expressions Destroyed all conceptions For children in the street Who's there to help you When all is forgotten and Torn apart by fear No one to hold her No one who really cares Oh please don't cry Oh no war child The struggle for power That grows by the hour Like the blood beneath her feet Dispering with heartache There must be somebody To help her in such need No one to hold her No one who really cares Open your eyes, you're still here Still safe, at peace in this world So great, you're free You don't have to fight for your life War child
