Childhood's End

I’d sail across the ocean I’d walk a hundred miles If I could make it to the end Oh just to see a smile You see it in their faces The sadness in their tears The desperation and the anger Madness and the fear No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here Starvation and the hunger The suffering and the pain The agonies of all-out war When will it come again? The struggle for the power A tyrant tries again Just what the hell is going on? When will it ever end? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here You see the fullmoon float You watch the red sun rise We take these things for granted But somewhere someone’s dying Contaminated waters Pollution and decay Just waiting for disease to strike Oh will we learn someday? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, no seed, childhood’s end
