I see the children on the TV Askin' have you seen me? More little faces every day They don't go away Torn from the world And out on their own You can hear them callin' Taken from home into 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 bare all of the pain While the world is watching The innocent eye and nothing has 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 Our voices are crying The hurt and the pain is too much For a small heart to bare 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 voice (Hear our cry) Hear our cry (Say a prayer) For the children (Heal the pain) Heal! (Heal this world) This world (Say a prayer) Say a prayer for the children (Hear our voice) Hear our voice (Hear our cry) Hear our cry (Say a prayer) For the children (Heal the pain) Heal the pain (Heal this world) Heal this world (Say a prayer) For the children (As I lay me down to sleep Pray the Lord, my soul to keep...) ©1986 Light Records Written by Sam Scott and Michael Hodges
