"Let The Children Play" lyrics - LIONSHEART

A mother cries alone tonight
In a room with empty arms
Baby flies on the wind, her angel wings
Devil's hand works alone tonight
In a world of blackened hearts
Baby flies on the wind, her angel wings

Innocence gone into the flame
Angels in heaven crying in vain

I got the news on the wire today
It cut me to the bone
Children lying in a field of fire
Then I heard tormented screams
A woman pained in grief
Children dying in the field of fire

Innocence gone into the flame
Angels in heaven crying out in vain

Let the children play
Let the children play
Just let them see another day

Thunder rips the sky in two
In a blazing feast of flame
The papers said that the children died
In a blood-for-money game
Anger rages through my heart
And the smoke, it blacks the skies
Hell-bent on insanity
As another baby dies

Innocence gone into the flame
Angels in heaven crying out in vain

Let the children play
Let the children play
Just let them see another day

Let the children play
See another day
See another day

Got the news on the wire today
It cut me through and through
Still the blind lead the blind alone
Is there nothing we can do?

Let the children play
Let the children play
Let the children play
Let the children play
Let the children play
Let the children play
Let the children play
Let the children play
