Anthem (For the Children) lyrics

Si vis pacem para bellun It's the same all across the nations The ones who suffer the most Always victims, always mistreated Not even a sign of hope Wonder who's gonna live tomorrow Wonder who's gone insane Empty souls with a shell of iron Life is just one big pain Fear - I see the fear in their faces Tears - I see the tears in their eyes Save a prayer for the innocent Their childhood's been taken away It's an anthem for the children They're always the ones who must pay Save a prayer for the innocent It happens right here and today It's an anthem for the children To make them refuse to obey Never felt the joy of living Never felt quite okay Tell me how can they even make it To another day Wonder who's gonna live tomorrow Wonder who's gone insane? Empty souls with a shell of iron Life is just one big pain Fear - I see the fear in their faces Tears - I see the tears in their eyes Save a prayer for the innocent Their childhood's been taken away It's an anthem for the children They're always the ones who must pay Save a prayer for the innocent It happens right here and today It's an anthem for the children To make them refuse to obey
