We are the children Every life so precious Sometimes I think That god will soon forget us We gun down our brothers Who stand in freedom's name Discover our preachers Sinning without shame Falling stars raining fire from the sky tell me why. I bow my head this night Help us to see (Chorus:) Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the Lord our souls to keep Peace on earth, bring peace on earth tonight A baby cries His country has no food to spare Lonely old man Nowhere to sleep, no one who cares We choose to destroy the beauty god gave us to share We're running out of time Will we try or will we die I bow my head this night Help us see (Chorus) I believe That when it rains His tears are falling I believe that somewhere He can hear us calling out Falling stars raining fire from the sky Will we die ? I bow my head this night Help us to see (Chorus)
