Lyrics Daniel Merriweather – The Children

All of the people, look at the children
Play in the morning sun
All of the people, look at their children

Why do they fight over you
They all act like sinners, but they pray over dinner
Thankin the lord for their food

(La la la la la la la la la) if we don’t fight any longer
(La la la la la la la la la) you know that we could be stronger
(La la la la la la la la la) and we could be so much better
(La la la la la la la la la) if we just stick together

All of the people, look at the children
Play in the morning sun
All of the people, look at their children
Wishing that they were one

Heavenly father, why is she crying
Did they take her only son
White picket fences, is all that defense is
Ain’t that that how the west was won

Heavenly father, we’ll get our karma
Look at just we’ve become
Invading and cheaters, we talk about freedom
And that’s how the west was won

(La la la la la la la la la) if we don’t fight any longer
…and there’s more
