this land is cruel to her people
pain won't let us go
we are hurting
we are dieing
we are left alone
how my heart cries for my children
I want for you to see
their precious lives are quickly fading
know the pain that I feel
there is nothing for my children
you can see them if you try
when you see them
listen to your heart
I think you will not pass them by
if you could see my chidren's face
or see them when they're crying
or when their eyes stare far too deeply
if only for a while
see life passing
arms are reaching
and they wonder why
there is nothing in their hand
see their hope slowly die
there is nothing for my children
you can see them if you try
when you see them
listen to your heart
I think you will not pass them by
Jesus said
when I had nothing
you gave to me
for as you've done
for these my children
so you have done for me
