INTRO:
Ooo ooo, Ooo oooooooo... REFRAIN: Are you listening? Can you hear children's voices ringing in your ear? Can you hear them while their laughing can you hear them when they play? Do you know the words they're saying Do hear them they pray? Can you hear? Can you hear? VERSE 1: Are you listening? Can you hear children's voices ringing in your ear? Can you hear them? Are you listening in the darkness of the night Can you hear them when they're calling in their hunger and the their fright? Can you hear? Can you hear? VERSE 2: So much darkness-- I'm runnin around-- but too scared to make a sound. Won't you ease the pain and disease, won't you come and comfort me. So young, but cried a million tears, I've conquered trials for so many years. Without you by my side I won't win -- -- do you hear me cryin? [REPEAT REFRAIN] Oh oh, Oh oh... Listen to the children Oh oh, Oh oh... Listen to the children Listen... Listen... Listen... Listen... Listen... Listen... Listen... Listen... Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen Can you hear them while their laughing can you hear them when they play? Do you know the words they're saying Do hear them they pray.......... |
