Lyrics
Please take our children!
That's what the people say
As they plead for their children
To touch the USA
Please take our children
Even leave us behind,
If that's what it takes
For them to survive
What would it take to reduce your hopes solely to the survival of your family to the next generation?
To bargain all of your dreams and the dreams of your family that only your child will somehow survive?
In America...
Please take our children!
That's what the people say
As they plead for their children
To touch the USA
Please take our children
Even leave us behind,
If that's what it takes
For them to survive
What would it take for you?
What would it take for you?
