The Simple Truth (A Child Is Born)
A child is born on a battlefieldA soldier boy falls to his kneesAnd a woman cries in joy and painWhen will we live in peace again?
A child is born where the wild wind blowsIn a country torn from the south to the northAnd a family runs from day to dayWhen will we see our home again?
When will we see the simple truthThe only thing that's worth a damn
The life of a child is more than a forestThe life of a child is more than a borderCould ever be
A child is born in the desert sunA tiny life has just begunAnd a mother cries for her hungry babeWhen will I feed my boy again?
A child is born to an ordinary homeEast or west, it could be anyoneBut we all wanna know:Will my child survive to see the dayWhen we will be secure again?
When will we see the simple truthThat the only thing that's worth a damn
The life of a child is more than a forestThe life of a child is more than a borderThe life of a child is more than religionThe life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternityWe must believe, for the sake of humanityOh, we must believe
For the sake of humanity, we must believe
