Lyrics Listen to the Children - Isla Grant

They are crying out for peace around the world
They are telling us to stop the hurt and pain
Their smiles can melt the coldest heart
Their tears can pull your world apart
Why don't we listen to the children

Why can't you see the world their eyes can see
There is no room for hate or jealousy
And color means nothing to them
To a child another is a friend
Why don't we listen to the children

Why don't we listen, to what they try to say
Make a world of peace for them to live in
Take a leaf out of the book
They read to us each day
Why don't we learn a lesson from the children

So everyone around the word join hands
And spread the word of love across the land
Rejoice and live in harmony
And pray that peace at last will be
They need the help of you and me, our children

They are crying out for peace around the world
They are telling us to stop the hurt and pain
Their smiles can melt the coldest heart
Their tears can pull your world apart
Why don't we listen to the children
