My Children

this land is cruel to her people

pain won't let us go

we are hurting

we are dieing

we are left alone

how my heart cries for my children

I want for you to see

their precious lives are quickly fading

know the pain that I feel



there is nothing for my children

you can see them if you try

when you see them

listen to your heart

I think you will not pass them by



if you could see my chidren's face

or see them when they're crying

or when their eyes stare far too deeply

if only for a while

see life passing

arms are reaching

and they wonder why

there is nothing in their hand

see their hope slowly die



there is nothing for my children

you can see them if you try

when you see them

listen to your heart

I think you will not pass them by



Jesus said

when I had nothing

you gave to me

for as you've done

for these my children

so you have done for me
