Ladies and Gentlemen Please silence your cell phones I want to hear the children sing For they sing a song Sad but lovely Their voices rise like smoke To be carried off in the breeze
Let me have peace Quiet your voices Quiet your minds Listen to the children sing They sing away oppression Cast out hatred Become baptized by the childrenβs song
Let me hear the holy songs Of the holy Children Let me free my soul To the songs of Love, innocent & free Songs about the Earth, basking in Eternity
Men & Women Put down your guns Cast away your atom bombs & nuclear deaths Stop your fighting Silence your scream For we all need to hear the children sing
