On a rainy night in L .A., a little baby cries,
and its mother stares in horror,
In a far off land across the sea,
a thousand children cried
And a dear stone was filled with hate,
but a thousand children died
Why are all the children crying?
Why are all their eyes so dim?
Why are all the children crying?
Why have we forgotten them?
One child's life is started
Born into a harmless world
They need someone to care
Will we give our love to them
Or will we stand and stare
Why are all the children crying
Why are all their eyes again
Why are all the children crying
Why have we forgotten them
On a rainy night in L .A., a little baby cries
It's mother stares in horror
In a far off land across the sea,
Empty stomachs filled with pain,
Why are all the children crying?
Why are all their eyes again?
Why are all the children crying?
Why are we forgotten then?
Why are all the children crying?
Why are all their eyes again?
Why won't the children know you?
Why have you forgotten them?
