What have we become / Just look what we have done / All that we destroyed you must build again

70 White Lion - When The Children Cry
Pride - 1987

«When the Children Cry» (en español: «Cuando los niños lloran») es una canción de la banda de rock estadounidense White Lion.; Se trata de una balada con una introducción de arpegio de guitarra, con un contenido lírico antibélico.




Para esta fecha (1987) ya tenia una banda llamada "Los Alborda" en los que los mensajes eran decididamente en contra de los males de la sociedad, en contra de personas (o personajes) nefastos. Y esta canción correspondía a lo que siempre pensé y escribí. 


Little child dry your crying eyes
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
'Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man and no one knows just why
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
When the children cry let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
Little child you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
'Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry let them know we tried
When the children fight let them know it ain't right
When the children pray let them know the way
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
