Little children hiding in the shadows
Waiting for the changing of the day
Watching for a break between the shadows
When they can come out and start to play
Chorus:
And we're singing of the times
When the sun will always shine
And armored cars and tanks will fade away
People will be one, and the fighting will be done
And all the little children they can play
I can hear you saying it's impossible
Just at the blood upon the road
But I don't think that it's impossible
For now we see that all our blood is red
Chorus
It seems that cure is better then prevention
If not then Doctor John would have no pay
And all kings and queens would have pensions
If all the little children they could play
Chorus
I don't suppose a man will stop this struggling
If he's lying with his upon the ground
It's only when every man is standing
That peace and justice can be found
Chorus
Waiting for the changing of the day
Watching for a break between the shadows
When they can come out and start to play
Chorus:
And we're singing of the times
When the sun will always shine
And armored cars and tanks will fade away
People will be one, and the fighting will be done
And all the little children they can play
I can hear you saying it's impossible
Just at the blood upon the road
But I don't think that it's impossible
For now we see that all our blood is red
Chorus
It seems that cure is better then prevention
If not then Doctor John would have no pay
And all kings and queens would have pensions
If all the little children they could play
Chorus
I don't suppose a man will stop this struggling
If he's lying with his upon the ground
It's only when every man is standing
That peace and justice can be found
Chorus
