Somewhere in the distance We can close our eyes and turn our heads Way off in the distance Another baby dies and the blood is shed Come join the resistance It can turn your heart, it'll burn your soul Is there any difference In the child alive or the seed that's sown Oh... can ya hear them, the children say... Who cries for me? I didn't want to die Who will cry for me as I go to my Father's arms Who cries for me? Please just stop the lie We cry just a little When we hear the tale of a fallen tree And stand in the middle As they cut the cord of society Who'll fight for the voiceless Yeah, the times are hard no guarantees We live with the choices Till we raise a voice and get on our knees Oh... if you listen, the children say... Who cries for me? I didn't want to die Who will cry for me as I go to my Father's arms Who cries for me? Please just stop the lie Who cries for me? I have been denied Who will cry for me and for those who've yet to come Who cries for me? Please just stop the lie We too are the victim if we turn our eyes away Will we let them die or fight for life today Who cries for me? I didn't want to die Who will cry for me as I go to my Father's arms Who cries for me? Please just stop the lie
