We are not helpless, we are men What lies between us it can be set aside and ended Ev'ryday we learn more how to hate Shut the door and then we tell ourselves we can't relate Only to the ones who are the same Yet even they are diff'rent and ever so they shall remain All are strangers, all are friends All are brothers Open up, my friend, and learn to hear For even lying when it has nothing you should fear If you cannot let yourself be known By anyone then you are hiding and not whole All are strangers, all are friends All are brothers, We, your children, we would ask you all Please do not hide your eyes and listen when we call We will whisper, shout or make a scene We are the answer for we can live the peace we dream All are strangers, all are friends All are brothers, oh yeah, oh yeah (troughout this verse) Yes, America's children Are askin' ev'rybody some questions about how it is Yes, America's children Are makin' it hard to look them in the eyes America's children Are makin' it hard to live lies, you know, whoa, it is And America's children Yes, and it's right on, children of the earth, and it's right on Children of the earth, and it's right on Children of the earth and it's right on, right on, yeah This is what has made our nation free For life is change and only blind men cannot see The new order is upon us now It is the children they have the wisdom to be free All are strangers, all are friends All are brothers by: José Duarte [email protected]
