No more love Just hate growing harder and larger It's a human mind that locks us away From love and laughter All men fighting Dead man's war forget the future, live in the past It'll never be over So kids will learn Oh, all the children are gone Leave their parents alone They search for a better home Cause where they live There its forbidden to dance, listening to music or holding hands It's forbidden to breathe They breaking the rules was their daily combat They had to obey, they had to forget The fire inside, the passion for life Oh, all the chilrdren are gone They search for freedom They want no one to lead them Life is just a game No more honor, no shame We could gamble all we wanted And maybe some ohter day, but we're playing safe today And will all day long They can call us crazy, they can name us wrong But we're not fighting along It's a long road, takes a long time And we're all ready to climb Oh, all the children are gone Leave their parents alone They search for a better home Cause where they live There its forbidden to dance, listening to music or holding hands It's forbidden to breathe They breaking the rules was their daily combat They had to obey, they had to forget The fire inside, the passion for life And, oh, all the children are gone All the children are gone All the children are- all the children are- all the children are gone All the children are gone All the children are gone All the children are- all the children are- all the children are gone All the children are gone All the children are gone All the children are- all the children are- all the children are Oh, all the children are gone They search for freedom They want no one to lead them
