The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them Wrapped up in grief and warfare They took from them what was gold and pure And stripped their souls clean and bare Can You Feel The heart beat inside Beating hard They're calling out for redemption For themselves Smoke fills the air tonight And faces glow from the cannon light The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them Wrapped up in grief and warfare They took from them what was gold and pure And stripped their souls clean and bare They need more They need more They need more They need more
They need more They need more They need more Smoke fills The air tonight And faces Glow from the cannon light They paid their respects By taking their way of life And replacing it for what they say is right The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them Wrapped up in grief and warfare They took from them what was gold and pure And stripped their souls clean and bare (The children couldn't help the gifts we gave them Wrapped up in grief and warfare They took from them what was gold and pure And stripped their souls clean and bare)
