C      G      Am       Em        
little child, dry your cryin eyes
F       C              Am       G
how can I explain the fear you feel inside
C                G    Am       Em
because you were born into this evil world
F                  C                     Am               G
where man is killing man and no one knows just why
F                Em            Am             Em
what have we become just look what we have done
F        C                 Am              G
all that we've destroyed you must build again

         Am       Em          F       C
when the children cry, let em know we tried
             Am       Em            F         G
because when the children sing then the new world begins


(2nd verse)

C      G     Am       Em
little child you must show the way
F    C                    Am      G
To a better day for all the young
C      G         Am           Em
because you were born for all the world to see
F       C                  Am       G
that we all can live with love and peace
F              Em           Am          Em
no more presidents and all the wars will end
F     C                 Am    G
one united world under god
