Lyrics by Larry Sagen, Arrangement by Jason Hansen
Verse 1
I wake up every morning
The news is all the same
Another name, another face
Another life erased
We see the truth
It’s clear as day
The lies, deceit, the greed
You tell us we’re the future
Help us sow the seeds we need
Chorus
We are your children
Hear us loud and clear
We are your children
Look into our eyes
And feel the fears we fear
We are your children
Please don’t turn away
We are your children
Stand up for us today
Stand up for our children today
Verse 2 - Rap/Spoken word
We didn’t make this world we see
We didn’t build the walls of greed
Didn’t start the wars or fights
Didn’t take away the rights
Didn’t teach to lie or hate
Didn’t cause the pain we face
Didn’t invent the drugs and guns
We want a peaceful world for everyone
We’re rising up, we need your help
We are your children
Chorus
We are your children
Hear us loud and clear
We are your children
Look into our eyes
And feel the fears we fear
We are your children
Please don’t turn away
We are your children
Stand up for us today
Bridge
Let the students be the teachers
’Cause the children best explain
We’re a world of different voices
But our cries all sound the same
The same
The same
The same
Chorus
We are your children
Hear us loud and clear
We are your children
Look into our eyes
And feel the fears we fear
We are your children
Please don’t turn away
We are your children
Stand up for us
Final Chorus
We are your children
Hear us loud and clear
We are your children
Look into our eyes
And feel the fears we fear
We are your children
Please don’t turn away
We are your children
Chorus Outro
Stand up for us, your children
Stand up for us, your children
Stand up for us, your children
Stand up for us, today
