4. Let The Children Play A mother cries alone tonight In a room with empty arms Baby flies on the wind, her angel wings Devil's hand works alone tonight In a world of blackened hearts Baby flies on the wind, her angel wings Innocence gone into the flame Angels in heaven crying in vain I got the news on the wire today It cut me to the bone Children lying in a field of fire Then I heard tormented screams A woman pained in grief Children dying in the field of fire Innocence gone into the flame Angels in heaven crying out in vain Let the children play Let the children play Just let them see another day Thunder rips the sky in two In a blazing feast of flame The papers said that the children died In a blood-for-money game Anger rages through my heart And the smoke, it blacks the skies Hell-bent on insanity As another baby dies Innocence gone into the flame Angels in heaven crying out in vain Let the children play Let the children play Just let them see another day Let the children play See another day See another day Got the news on the wire today It cut me through and through Still the blind lead the blind alone Is there nothing we can do? Let the children play Let the children play Let the children play Let the children play Let the children play Let the children play Let the children play Let the children play
