lyrics

Innocence and tranquility seem so easy to reach
Pleasant Valley Sunday, sunset on a golden beach
Do what you want, when you want, freedom of speech
Remember to ‘do unto others’, practice what you preech

What about the children who will never be the same
What about you and I and those who feel ashamed
What about the families – no one’ll remember their names
What about the funerals where no one ever came

From the suburbs of middle America to the dusty roads of the MiddleEast
Love-starved children left on their own to wander lonely streets
Parents working overtime to pay for family feasts
Forgetting hugs are worth so much more than all the latest treats

What about the children who will never be the same
What about you and I and those who feel no shame
What about the families – no one’ll remember their names
What about the funerals where no one ever came

Break the silence, agonies in the dark
Stop the violence, let children wish upon a start

What about the children who will never be the same
What about you and I giving them a world that’s sane
What about the families – no one’ll remember their names
What about the funerals where no one ever came
