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 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
‘Cause 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
Prevod na srpski
Kada deca plaču
Malo dete obriši svoje uplakane oči
Kako da objasnim strah koji osećaš u sebi
Jer ti si rođen u ovom opakom svetu
Gde čovek ubija čoveka a niko baš ne zna zašto
Šta smo to postali, samo pogledaj šta smo uradili
Sve što smo uništili ti moraš ponovo izgraditi
Kada deca plaču, neka znaju da smo pokušali
Jer kada deca pevaju onda novi svet počinje
Malo dete moraš pokazati put
Ka boljem sutra za sve mlade
Jer ti si rođen da svet vidi
Da svi možemo da živimo u ljubavi i miru
Bez predsednika i svi ratovi će se završiti
Jedan ujedinjeni svet pred Bogom
Kada deca plaču, neka znaju da smo pokušali
Jer kada deca pevaju onda novi svet počinje
Šta smo to postali, samo pogledaj šta smo uradili
Sve što smo uništili ti moraš ponovo izgraditi
Bez predsednika i svi ratovi će se završiti
Jedan ujedinjeni svet pred Bogom
Kada deca plaču, neka znaju da smo pokušali
Jer kada se deca bore, neka znaju da to nije u redu
Kada se deca mole, neka znaju put
Jer kada deca pevaju onda novi svet počinje
