War Child Songtext / Lyric

Brother, I am freezing in the night

Why are all these people running by?

Where is a shelter from the storm?

Hold me close, hold me closer, keep me warm



Brother, will we make it through the night?

What are all these noises? I am frightened

Where is a shelter from the storm?

I am hungry, I am tired, I am torn






Say brother, where do we go?

Say brother, what do you know?

Say brother, will you stand by me?

Say brother, why do we run?

Who's that man, with the gun?

Hey brother, don't go away



What are all these colours in the sky?

Why are you whispering, why do we hide?

Is this our shelter from the storm?

Hold me close, hold me closer, keep me warm



Why is all this blood on my hands?

Brother, tell me why you're crying, stop pretending

Don't say you'll leave me all alone

Stay with me. I am lost here on my own



Hey brother, don't go away

Hey brother, I beg you to stay

Please brother, can't you say one word?

Hey brother, open your eyes

Why are your hands, cold as ice?

Hey brother, don't go away
