Another story on the news
Another young life, too precious to lose
I shed a tear for the generation lost
How come we seem to just stand by
Why don't we save our own mankind?
For the children of the future
Cry for what we've done
How did we come this far?
To the makings of what we are in our time
Where is the love that we have
Left behind the darker side?
Living in make believe
Chasing future and destiny we've chosen
Are we running blind, where is the love?
Another child of poverty
With the tears in his eyes, no reason to be
How cheap is his life?
Who's counting the cost?

Living in make believe
Chasing future and destiny we've chosen
Are we running blind, where is the love?
And no matter how we try
We can save tomorrow's child
If we open up our hearts
And listen

Can't you hear them cry?

Now tell me where is the love?
