The lyrics (Tramp, Bratta) are posted below:
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 sings
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
In light 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 sings
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
Then we know it ain´t right
When the children break
Let them know we´re awake
´cause when the children sings
The new world begins

Why is it when ppl …
Why is it when ppl hear thing song they start the “War” talk, this song has nothing to do with War itself. Just because it was re-released by another band prior to the war in iraq means nothing to its original meaning.
It’s about all the bad things that older generations did, and pretty much asking for forgiveness and hoping the future generations will change.
Just about did, Take a look at History after its release.
This is the song my …
This is the song my brother used to sing to me every night before I went to bed. Now I play this song for my 2 kids every night before they go to bed. it has more truth to it now than it did when I was a little girl.
This song is so …
This song is so right, so much crap in this world, and children are braught into it, and they have no choice but to deal with it.
And please show me …
And please show me where I called the war pointless. I commented about where White Lion is now, and said nothing about the United states. I think you have me mixed up with another post, dude.
What the do …
What the do you mean, people like me?? Are we neighbors? No. Ae we friends?? Obviously not. And are you really that upset that I made a joke about his solo album flopping?? It’s not a big secret, and I honestly do not know what became of Vito, and Mike was an instructor at Tahoe. In the meantime, please stop thinking you know someone based on one comment they make on a website that encourages comments. It invalidates your argument to a degree as you are assuming to know me based on that.
White Lion is the …
White Lion is the shit!

@danielkimble1972 ; I usally do not responed to people like you but enough is enough. Get your close minded, self-centered, tunnel visioned f–king self out of my “This United States”. Anyone that calls the Iraq “WAR” pointless cannot call themselves an American cause the only thing important to them is their own ick selves. In my humble opinion.

@FallenPreyDystopia ; Good Day to “YOU” Just one of the many of our RISING STARS. I am 54 and a Veteran and this song has got me to tear up ever since I first heard it right after its release. I have always made it a point to “not tell” people how to do their thing cause I do not care for people telling me how to run my life, but I’M Always ready and willing to listen and hear what they have to say. You might like to take a listen to “I’LL NEVER LET YOU GO” 2009. Good Luck on your Journey
@matzchase ;Good …
@matzchase ;Good Day, I am a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran with NO REGRETS, even tho it has lead to my total reclusiveness. You are so correct on the power of this song as is alot of White Lions music. May I be so humble to ask if you can help me make sure all our decision makers hear it and hear it till they hopefully get it, I would be much grateful. “STONE WALLS DO NOT MAKE A PRISON”.
