The power ballad peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #7 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and #88 in the UK in early 1989.

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

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 all 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 

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 
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
