I see the children on the TV, asking, "Have you seen me?"
More little faces every day; they don't go away,
Torn from their world and out on their own, you can hear them calling,
Taken from home unto the unknown, so lost and alone.
Hear our voice, hear our cry,
Say a prayer for the children,
Heal the pain, heal our world,
Say a prayer for the children.
Suffering hearts bear all of the pain while the world is watching,
The innocent die and nothing is changed; it's always the same.
Hear our voice, hear our cry,
Say a prayer for the children,
Heal the pain, heal this world,
Say a prayer for the children.
We pray for the children, their voices are crying,
The hurt and the pain is too much for a small heart to bear,
We don't hold the answers, we can't find the reasons,
My God, can you hear us? - Please let us know that you're there.
Hear our voice, hear our cry, (hear our voice, hear our cry)
Say a prayer, (for the children)
Heal the pain, heal this world, (heal this world)
Say a prayer, (say a prayer for the children)
Hear our voice, hear our cry, (hear our voice, hear our cry)
Say a prayer, (for the children)
Heal the pain, heal this world, (heal the pain, heal this world)
Say a prayer. (for the children)
As I lay me down to sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul to take.
