On a rainy night in LA
A little baby cries
It's mother stares in horror
And watches her son die
In a far off land across the sea
A thousand children cry
Empty stomachs filled with pain
A thousand children die

Why are all the children crying?
Why are all their eyes so dim?
Why are all the children crying?
Why have we forgotten them?

Another heart stops beating
Another one begins
One child's life has started
One child's has to end
Born into a heartless world
They need someone to care
Will we five our love to them
Or will we stand and stare

Why are all the children crying?
Why are all their eyes so dim?
Why are all the children crying?
Why have we forgotten them?
