The Children
Words and Music by Gary lee Morris

Out on that horizon there lies a distant shore
And the people there survivin? are cryin? out for more
Is it just another story of the price we have to pay
No, it?s more like pain and glory,
Created by the games that people play

The reasons they are changin?, but the story?s still the same
They?re in need of rearrangin?, it?s crying time again
Is it something out of Shakespearre, or is it just today
No it?s all a hard-luck story,
Created by the games that people play

Have you seen the children lying in a pool of blood
Mother?s eyes are weeping as they die
Have you seen the children living in the world today
Lined up for crucifixion,
Created by the games that people play

Out on that horizon there lies a masquerade
Poison minds are compromisin? what?s left of their charade
Yes the season?s here for changin?, the tide has run away
It?s diplomacy a ragin?
Created by the games that people play
