Verse 1
The desert wind blows, a sad sound you hear,
For kids caught in war, living in fear.
No more stories at night, no soft songs to keep,
Just alarms sounding off, while the bombs fall deep
Run little children, there's nothing left here,
Only shattered memories of what was once dear.
Chorus
'Cause the talks have all failed, the peace is now gone,
No way to go back, the fighting moves on,
When there's talk of nukes, that's a scary big threat,
And the U.S. will answer with all it can get.
Verse 2
Now small feet are running, from blasts they take flight,
From broken-down houses, in the dark of the night.
They used to run to their daddy, when he walked through the door,
Now running from rubble, from echoes of family no more.
Chorus
Run, little children, into the night! Don't look back and stay out of sight,
'Cause the talks have all failed, the peace is now gone,
No way to go back, the fighting moves on.
They talked of their nukes, that's the biggest threat so the US answered back with all it can get.
Bridge
With a loud boom and a bright flash, safe places all vanish, their dreams turn to ash.
Those who remember a life free from dread,
Now hide in the shadows, with tears they have shed.
The world holds its breath, allies stand near,
Get rid of these weapons, or we may all disappear.
The innocent suffer, stuck in these fights,
'Cause leaders clash hard, walking away from the table and then turn out the lights.
Outro
What about the children, so helpless and small,
[innocent after all]
Who carry the burden forever but for now they watch it all fall?
Watch it all fall...
What about the children?
The children of war.
