Lyrics

I look around me now And hear our children cry I see them hurting so And ask myself one question: Why? And prayers seem futile If we can't find a way To love one another The same way, every day ... and so I pray ... Holy Mother, hear our plight Holy Mother, stop the hate ... They swim towards the shore To run away from bitter War They get shot down in schools Because we love our tools More Their cries we do not hear Because we do not want To see ... But for a twist of Fate, Their parent could be you ... or me ... Holy Mother, hear our plight Holy Mother, stop the hate ... Ave Maria [BRIDGE] (and more …) We're cutting down their trees So that they cannot Breathe (and more …) We drug kids with a pill Just to make them Sit still And as they wilt away With every passing day Who cares? We send our thoughts and prayers And carry on the same Nightmares ... Holy Mother, hear our plight Holy Mother, stop the hate ...
