Suffer the Children

Music and Lyrics by Kent Jensen
Maria walks alone at night, a child of the streets
Her destiny is a stranger’s death, a life of bittersweet
I’ve seen their limbs torn from their bodies in the minefields of Cambodia
I’ve heard their hungered tearful cries in the deserts of Somalia
Suffer the Children to come unto me
Find them a haven that is safe from life’s storms
For unless we save the children there no hope for you and me
A better world a better place for tomorrow
They die in the streets of L.A., they die in the streets of everywhere
They perish in Palestine, torn apart in Israel from terror’s rude blasts
Their abused immortal souls march through history’s bloody past
Their innocence destroyed by their protector’s greedy grasp
Ring around the roses, pocket full of posies
Hey, Hey, its safe to play no bombs falling yet today
