Lyrics
Once you see them You never forget them Once they take hold of you They never let you go Traveling across the seas To a paradise Is where I first saw The sad, sad eyes So many children So much humiliation So many children So much quiet desperation So many children So many tears to fill their sad eyes Desperate souls fill the streets Hoping to find a dream Dare to look into the eyes And see their crying need So many sad eyes Fighting their way just to survive A fate they can't escape An innocent sacrifice So many children So much humiliation So many children So much quiet desperation So many children So many tears to fill their sad eyes
