I'm scared for my child, lord, for her mother

For what you people wanna do to one another

For the water, for the trees --

Man, I'm scared of pollution, of disease

And I'm scared that my child won't live a long time

With your murderin', rape and your drug money crime;

Scared of the drugs stealing youth from the young.

Well their life story; well that'll never be sung

And I pray my child lives happy and long,

And I hope she never will sing this song

And I pray, my child, live happy and long, Lord

And I hope she never will sing this song

Well as some men talk of peace now -- good intentions.

I'm only gonna look at his latest inventions.

Hope I'm wrong, Heard I'm right --

Man he could end it all tonight.

I know upon this night another village is burning;

Child lose their life as their first sun is turning;

Leaders of holocaust stand so tall;

Man it looks like there ain't no value in life at all...

Well I pray my child will live happy and long, Lord,

And I hope she never will sing this song

So lord please forgive me if my fear offend now --

It's just so hard to transcend now

Cause when i ran away from my bad dream

The child inside was too scared and screamed
