Two Wars

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
