Oh Lord, hear the cries of the innocent (yes Lord)
Let there be peace tonight
We praise the same God under the same blue sky
But we divide His love, and we don't know why
From Palestine to Yemen, the children start to weep
Scared of the bombs falling while they try to sleep
The Bible is holy, the Quran is holy too
So why do we spill the blood of the youth?
Oh God, heal this broken world today (heal us Lord)
World leaders, open up your eyes and find a way
No more children crying in the dark of night
Bring Your holy peace, make the future bright
Hallelujah, let the healing start (amen)
From Somalia to Iraq, Syria to Sudan
Every little child is in Your loving hand
Use your common sense to save the ones we love
Send down Your mercy like a gentle dove
Inshallah, peace will reign upon the earth (yes Lord)
Oh God, heal this broken world today (heal us Lord)
World leaders, open up your eyes and find a way
No more children crying in the dark of night
Bring Your holy peace, make the future bright
Hallelujah, let the healing start (amen)
Peace upon the world, amen
Let the children sleep in peace
Amen, amen
