I see in the news the other day, children in a school
Strangers with guns.. shooting and theatenings
Babies and children, watching parents shot
To try to protect the precious
Terrified, crying, hungry and thirsty
O poor children
Where the Sahara sun is hot and dry
Innocence is lost.. grown men with guns
Mothers and fathers killed before babes eyes
Their homes and villages no longer safe
Battered, bruised, hungry and thirsty
O poor children
