On a rainy night in L.A. a little baby cries,
Its mother stares in horror, and watches her son die,
In a far off land across the sea a thousand children cry,
Empty stomachs, filled with pain; a thousand children die.

Why are all the children crying'
Why are all their eyes so dim'
Why are all the children crying'
Why have we forgotten them'

Another heart stops beating, another one begins,
One child's life is started, and one child's has to end,
Born into a heartless world, they need someone to care,
Will we give our love to them, or will we stand and stare'

Why are all the children crying'
Why are all their eyes so dim'
Why are all the children crying'
Why have we forgotten them'

Why are all the children crying'
