lyrics

Precious innocence
Stolen from the children
Any fool in love
Like guns and ammunition
Saw a broken heart
I tried to be kind
Said I was taught to hate
Said love is what youre made of
This child soldier
Forced to spill the blood
Of his brothers and sisters
Of the ones he loves
What he once knew as
Family and home
Had been turned
To blood, brick and bone

I lay down by a river of tears
And I add mine
I'm wondering
Oh how long
Shall they drink blood for wine?

I lay down by a river of tears
And I add mine

Caught in the crossfire
Children playing nearby
Out in the streets
Heard the shots, heard them cry
Scatter everywhere
No time to ask why
Some say hell is far
I saw it all that day
Someone else's war
That millions are killed for
Of the foolishness of the few
Innocence shot down
Many children die
Shattered hopes and dreams
Blood runs in the streams

I lay down by a river of tears
And I add mine
I'm wondering
Oh how long
Shall they drink blood for wine?

I lay down by a river of tears
And I add mine

They're not just the other ones

They're not just the other
The other ones

They're not just the other
The other ones
