1. Children (original version)
Waste my life and see tomorrow
Waste my life and see today
See this world full of pain and horror
Why can’t they understand?
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms
Overfed with crime and terror
Sitting, watching war TV
Demonstrating people want to
Live in peace and harmony
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms
After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you’ll feel no loneliness
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms
After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you’ll feel no loneliness
2. Children (Rough Ballad version)
Waste my life and see tomorrow
Waste my life and see today
See this world full of pain and horror
Why can’t they understand?
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms
Overfed with crime and terror
Sitting, watching war TV
Demonstrating people want to
Live in peace and harmony
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms
After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you’ll feel no loneliness
Hear the children cry

With her babies in her arms
After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you’ll feel no loneliness
3. Pray
If your mother dies,
You will pray;
If your father dies,
You will to God all say;
If your sister is raped
Then you will pray
If your girl gets a baby
Then you will to God all say.
Refrain: Pray, now there’s time to say
Pray, now it’s time for a new beginning
A prayer in the night, sometimes seems like a fight
A prayer from the heart is bringing sunshine in the dark
If you have to pass an exam,
Then you will pray;
If you take by force a bank,
Even then you will to God all say
You pray to God in your life;
You say him all your wishes
Won’t you end with your sin,
God helps you go the way to him.
Refrain
You’ll see a prayer makes you free, makes you free
Then you’ll see no danger, you are free, you are free
4. Love Goes
Intro: In times like these, were love is mostly misunderstood
We do anything and everything for love
But if you haven’t noticed yet, I can tell you for sure
This is the kind of love that doesn’t last
Real love lasts over the torments of time
Love – that’s just a cloud – and sometimes ends in death
They love your body
It’s perfect and without flaw
And with the right clothes
Even the dead rise to their feet
What do you have to do
So that they all will love you?
How long will it last?
Love – that’s just a cloud
Chorus: Not only nights full of storm I know
This love is a gun
Sometimes I don’t know right or wrong, but I know
This love was here and is gone
Refrain: Come on and open your eyes
Turn your head back from the wall
Don’t tell yourself these lies
Your perspective isn’t that small
Don’t get too caught up in the ways of this world
They’ll tear you up and throw you down
Come on and open your eyes
You’ve got to think and rise
They love your success
And they love your possessions
So many things, but always the same
If you’re not on the top you’re the wart
And they’ll all just pass by
How long will it last?
Love – that’s just a cloud
Chorus
Refrain
5. Loving Your
So many years passed by in your dumb grey life
You'd never thought that there is more to see
Hours, days and years pass by and you don't mind
You always think that all is in control
Why do you lock up your soul?
You run away from all your problems
Pull yourself together and look into the light
Just see the world with angels’ eyes
Throw away the chains of frustration
Angel’s eyes give confidence
Break free from aggression
And only those who look through angels eyes
See the things and understand
You fear the step into the new
Give up the known let yourself fall
Why do you fear changes?
Do you think that no one catches you?
And only the lord gives power and strength to you
You was almost on to get up
But Satan still won’t give you up
You doubt of all, let no one touch you
But then you hear a voice saying
Chorus
Maybe, you'll lose all that is important to you
But now you got the prospect over your life
Don't you lose time, unlock your soul
And see the world with angels’ eyes
