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 goanna live tomorrow Wonder who's gone? insane Empty souls with a shell of iron Life is just one big pain I see the fear in their faces 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 goanna live tomorrow Wonder who's gone? insane Empty souls with a shell of iron Life is just one big pain I see the fear in their faces 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
