Can you hear the prayer of the children
On bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room?
Empty eyes, with no more tears to cry
Turning heavenward, toward the light
Can you hear the prayer of the children
On bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room?
Empty eyes, with no more tears to cry
Turning heavenward, toward the light
Crying, "Jesus, help me
To see the morning light of one more day;
But if I should die before I wake
I pray my soul to take."
Can you feel the heart of the children
Aching for home, for something of their very own?
Reaching hands, with nothing to hold on to
But hope for a better day, a better day
Crying, "Jesus, help me
To feel the love again in my own land;
But if unknown roads lead away from home
Give me loving arms, away from harm."
Can you hear the voice of the children
Softly pleading for silence in a shattered world?
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate
Blood of the innocent on their hands
Crying, "Jesus, help me
To feel the sun again upon my face;
For when darkness clears I know you're near
Bringing peace again."

Can you hear the prayer of the children?
Je! Unaweza kusikia sala ya watoto
Kwenye goti lililowekwa, kwenye kivuli cha chumba kisichojulikana?
Macho tupu, bila machozi zaidi kulia
Kugeuza mbinguni, kuelekea nuru
Kulia, "Yesu, nisaidie
Kuona mwangaza wa asubuhi wa siku moja zaidi;
Lakini ikiwa ningekufa kabla sijaamka
Ninaomba roho yangu ichukue. "
Je! Unaweza kuhisi moyo wa watoto
Kuuma nyumbani, kwa kitu chao wenyewe?
Kufikia mikono, bila chochote cha kushikilia
Lakini tumaini la siku bora, siku bora
Kulia, "Yesu, nisaidie
Kuhisi upendo tena katika nchi yangu mwenyewe;
Lakini ikiwa barabara zisizojulikana zinaondoka nyumbani
Nipe mikono ya upendo, mbali na madhara. "
Je! Unaweza kusikia sauti ya watoto
Kuomba kwa upole katika ukimya katika ulimwengu uliovunjika?
Bunduki za hasira huhubiri injili iliyojaa chuki
Damu ya wasio na hatia mikononi mwao
Kulia, "Yesu, nisaidie
Kuhisi jua tena juu ya uso wangu;
Kwa maana wakati giza linapoisha najua uko karibu
Kuleta amani tena. "
