He can't understand 
What's going on there
A poor little kid 
Who watches the war
And not even time 
Will heal the wounds
Or wipe off the scars 
Deep in his soul
There should be 
Some reason
For all the pain 
Of the world 
That he sees outside

A long way from there 
Across the ocean
Little boys 
Live a different war
Hunger kills 
More than a thousand guns
And silence still 
Talks through 
Those sad looks
That comes from the windows
Angel's tears dropping 
Down all in vain, oh Lord

There's more 
Than you can do
Than to turn your back 
On them and pray, oh no 
Would be the same 
If it was your son 
Instead of them
Nowhere to go 
We're lost in a jungle

Love can do more 
Than a thousand words
By making the sound 
Of children's joy
Come out of those windows
Angel's tears dropping 
Down all in vain, no more

There's more 
Than you can do
Than to turn your back 
On them and pray, oh, oh 
Would you do the same 
If it was your son 
Instead of them, oh, oh 
Love is all we need 
If we're bound 
To change 
Their lives someday
Some place to go  
Out of this jungle
