Verse 1 There’s a light behind their eyes That no one has the right to steal Every promise left unspoken Leaves another wound to heal Little hands should never tremble When they hear a slamming door Every child deserves tomorrow And so much more Pre-Chorus We can’t turn our heads away We can’t say we never knew Chorus [Orchestra Strings join band] Don’t let the children suffer Don’t let their voices fade Stand between the hurt and fear Before their hope gives way Don’t let the children suffer The time to act is now If love can move a mountain It can keep this promise somehow Verse 2 Every silence tells a story Every bruise will have a name Someone has to break the silence Someone has to take the blame One kind word can start a fire One safe hand can change a life We can be the ones who end it Tonight Bridge One child shouldn’t carry The weight of someone else’s sin Every heart that’s finally rescued Gives the whole world hope again Final Chorus Don’t let the children suffer Don’t leave them all alone Be the voice that says “I’m with you” Until they make it home Don’t let the children suffer Stand together, hand in hand The future’s looking back at us It’s time we take a stand.
