When The Children Cry

Verse:
G      D      Em       Bm
little child, dry your cryin eyes
C       G            Em       D
how can I explain the fear you feel inside
G                D    Em       Bm
because you were born into this evil world
C            G              Em               D
where man is killing man and no one knows just why
C         Bm       Em             Bm
what have we become just look what we have done
C        G              Em              D
all that we’ve destroyed you must build again

Chorus:
         Em       Bm          C       G
when the children cry, let em know we tried
             Em       Bm            C         D
because when the children sing then the new world begins

To a better day for all the young
G      D         Em           Bm
because you were born for all the world to see

that we all can live with love and peace
C       Bm        Em          Bm

one united world under god
