Lyrics

mothers and children with pain in their eyes
hiding in corners the world passing by,
stange and their quiet devoid of all smiles
frail and they're weak and they dont have much time ...

is drawing the children to infinite sleep,
and all of them mourn for their fathers , so good
but war has its price and its payment is blood

World , these are the seeds of time
and we'll weep for defeat
when we harvest our crime
World these could be yours and mine
and we'll weep for defeat in the fullness of time
so little time.... so little time ....
for Mothers and Children and Men


Mothers and children with pain in their eyes
hiding in corners the world passing by,
stange and their quiet devoid of all smiles
frail and they're weak and they dont have much time ...

World , these are the seeds of time
and we'll weep for defeat
when we harvest our crime .
World these could be yours and mine
and we'll weep for defeat in the fullness of time
so little time...so little time
for Mothers and Children and Men


So set them free again ,
look to your children and teach them to love
make them believe again ,
live for each other and end all the pain ....
Make them believe again..
Make them believe again..
