Karaoké Only the Children Toto

We keep hurting each other when words can't be easily said

No understanding or reason just fear and confusion instead

We need hope for the future and the young need a chance to survive

No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent they're fighting to stay alive

Can no one see the tears in their eyes

Only the children yeah only the children only the children yeah yeah

Why do those who have plenty ignore those with nothing at all

Why must the ones just beginning

Stand with their backs to the wall

They keep asking for answers and we keep on telling them lies

They only want to understand what they feel inside

The hunger that tears them apart it's the one thing they've known from the start

Only the children yeah only the children cry

Only the children yeah yeah only the children cry

Only the children yeah only the children cry

Only the children yeah yeah say

Only the children only the children

Yeah yeah yeah only the children cry

Only the children yeah yeah only the children cry and die

Only the children yeah only the children only the children

Yeah yeah I say only the children only the children cry
