Here them whisper in the moonlight,
distant voice begging for relief
Their little hearts are slowly starving,
their tender bodies broken down and beat
what have we done to prevent a world like this
how can we live with the suffering of the innocent

He is a child, he is a soldier
and he's been fighting his whole life
she is a child, she is a laborer
and she's been working day and night
they are the children childhood left behind

Little fingers loading weapons
little feet that pace an endless field
got no means for education
barely got the means for another meal
what have I done to put an end to this?
There's gotta be something I can do make a difference

He is a child, he is a soldier
and he's been fighting his whole life
she is a child, she is a laborer
and she's been working day and night
they are the children childhood left behind

When I see their faces on the news, on a TV show
I've been cold, just want to ignore
but I can't take it anymore

He is a child, he is a soldier
and he's been fighting his whole life
she is a child, she is a laborer
and she's been working day and night
and she's been praying for someone to make things right
they are the children childhood left behind
