Well, I'm scared for my child, Lord, for her mother   For what you people wanna do to one another   For the water, for the trees   Man, I'm scared of pollution, well, of disease      And I'm scared that my child won't live a long time   With your murderin', rape and your drug money crime   And I'm scared of the drugs stealing youth from the young   Well, their life story, well, that'll never be sung      Well, I pray my child lives happy and long, Lord   And I hope she never will sing this song   And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord   And I hope she never will sing this song      Well as some men talk of peace now, good intentions   I'm only gonna look at his latest inventions   And I hope I'm wrong, heard I'm right   Well, he could end it all tonight      Man I know upon this night another village is burning   Child lose their life as their first sun is turning   Leaders of holocaust stand so tall   Man it looks like there ain't no value on life at all      Well, I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord   My hope she never will sing this song   And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord   And I hope she never will sing this song      So Lord please forgive me if my fear offend now   It's just so hard to transcend now   'Cause when I ran away from my bad dream   And the child inside was too scared and screamed      So Lord please forgive me if my fear offend now   It's just so hard to transcend now   'Cause when I ran away from my bad dream   And the child inside was too scared and screamed      Well, I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord   And I hope she never will sing this song   Well, I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord   And I hope she never will sing this song
