Little child
Em          Bm     Bm7  C
■  Dry your crying eyes ■
        G        
How can I explain
Em                D     
The fear you feel inside

■ 'cause you were born

■   Into this evil world ■

Where man is killing man

And no one knows just why
C G            Bm    
■ What have we become
                            C
Just look what we have done ■
         G           
All that we destroyed
               Em7   D
You must build again ■

When the children cry

Let them know we tried
                         Bm  
'cause when the children sing
         C         D     
Then the new world begins

To a better day

For all the young

'cause ■ you were born

That we all can live

With love and peace ■
        Bm         Em
No more presidents ■ 
            Bm            C
And all the wars will end ■

One united world ■

Under God
