Can you hear the children cry?
Why you ask, oh why?

Listen
Can you hear the children cry?
Why you ask, oh why?
Hunger, bruises, suffering from land
to land

Do you pray that man's cruelty

O has the world grown callous
to the voices for peace
Can you hear the children cry?
Need you ask why, oh why.
