Prayer of the Children Lyrics

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 hearts 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

 Dali cujete sve djecje molitive?
 (Croatian translation:
 'Can you hear all the children's prayers?')
 Can you hear the prayer of the children?
