Why do the children cry
The moving song about the suffering of children was written and recorded by Steve Darren with arrangement by Garry Ryan. A CD of this great contribution to the cause of children rights is available at jg147@msn.com. It is a powerful education and awareness building work of art that will be ideal for schools, radio, and song analysis sessions. I heartily encourage using this as a instrument of education and awareness building for the protection of children.

Why do the Children cry
WORDS BY STEVE DARREN

Arrangement BY GARY RYAN
ON DAY I WENT ACROSS TO BEAUTIFUL
PHILIPPINES
TO VISIT A VERY OLD FRIEND, IN A PLACE CALLED THE LAND OF DREAMS
IT REALLY OPENED UP MY EYES, AND IT FILLED ME WITH DESPAIR,
CHILDREN LIVING IN THE STREETS, CRYING AND STAVING EVERYWHERE,
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE, SO TELL ME WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS,
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS,
WHERE DO YOU ALL COME FROM,
NO HOME TO GO TO, FORGOTTEN IN LIFE
I'VE WATCHED YOU ALL RUN AWAY AND HIDE
FROM THE BIG BAD MONSTERS OF THE DARK DARK NIGHT
DON'T YOU KNOW THEY NEED OUR HELP,
CAN'T DO IT FOR THEMSELVES
WHY DO WE GO TO WAR, AND SPEND OUR MONEY ON GUNS
LITTLE CHILDREN SUFFER AGAIN, WHEN WILL WE EVER LEARN
THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE,
THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY, TODAY LETS MAKE IT RIGHT
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE, SO TELL ME WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS,
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS
WHERE DO YOU ALL COME FROM,
NO HOME TO GO TO, FORGOTTEN IN LIFE
I'VE WATCHED YOU ALL RUN AWAY AND HIDE
FROM THE BIG BAD MONSTERS OF THE DARK DARK NIGHT
SO ALL YOU LEADERS OF THE WORLD
THINK ON
THEIRS THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ON THE STREETS,
SO LETS START BY HELPING THEM, WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND
ALL THEY NEED IS LOVE AND KINDNESS, AND A HELPING HAND,
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE, TELL ME WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS
WHERE DO YOU ALL COME FROM,
NO HOME TO GO TO, FORGOTTEN IN LIFE
I'VE WATCHED YOU ALL RUN AWAY AND HIDE
FROM THE BIG BAD MONSTERS OF THE DARK DARK NIGHT
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS,
OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS
WHERE DO YOU ALL COME FROM,
NO HOME TO GO TO, FORGOTTEN IN LIFE
I'VE WATCHED YOU ALL RUN AWAY AND HIDE
FROM THE BIG BAD MONSTERS OF THE DARK DARK NIGHT
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE,
TELL ME WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY
PLEASE HELP THE CHILDREN. [End]
