Why this massacre of all the innocent children who will never see their homes again'
Tell me why, tell me.

Families, left to live with ache a mile wide, can't see how they'll ever cross that great divide.

So help the mothers, help the sons,
Believe that there's a kingdom come.

What makes men so hateful that a child becomes just a pawn, a power play, and not someone'
Tell me, tell me.

So help the fathers who are stunned,
Believe that there's a kingdom come,
Save our daughters, save our sons,
Now's the time, kingdom come.

Give the strength to those who will stay here in the battle 'til you've won.
