All these guns I hear like lightning and thunder, they are raging
Zealously come the hunger of graves gratifying
Tasty for blood, asking for more
Nations consumes just can't get enough
Hatred increasing at sightings of blood
Children continue to see things too crazy
Sorrow has made all these young ones a victim
Evil became just another victory

What kind of pain is too painful to feel?
Sleep child, dream child
Morning begins at the end of the dark
Sleep child, dream child

I can hear the cries, the cries of the African child

All her hopes are centered on signs from her visions and dreams
All of her songs are sang in the tunes of her pain
She has hopes for a new life, hope for some peace
Long-lasting new life, long-lasting peace
African child lay down to sleep
Mommy would come just to keep you so warm
Don't be dismay by the sorrow and pain
Strength would be yours at the end of this battle
All that starvation have held you a victim
Life for the dead is just twirling again

You would soar, you would soar

Some day, someway
Someone would take you so far away
