Children Are Crying

From the album Truths and Rights

Recorded for Studio One record label, 1979[Chorus]

The children are crying bitter tears

All over the years, all over the years

Mothers are bawling out

Don't know what love is all about

Cross their hearts and they hope to die

Wanna meet their Maker in the sky

[Verse 1]

One thing I'm asking of you Lord, good Lord

Blessing for the children and prayers for the youth

There got to be a mediator to come forward

And teach the youth the truth

I got to be there at The Levi to bring this message to you

[Chorus]

The mothers are crying out

Wondering what life is all about

Some cross their hearts and they hope to die

Wanna meet their Maker in the sky

This is the time of Armageddon

(Armageddon time is now)

But this a revolution of your mind

[Verse 2]

So watch out, open your eyes and look in your mind

You got to watch your steps as you're going along

War is running out of wars to fight

And peace is achieved if you want it

The children are crying bitter tears

All over the years, all over the years

[Chorus]

Mothers are crying out

Wondering what life is all about

Cross their hearts and they hope to die

Wanna meet their Maker in the sky

[Verse 3]

Open your eyes and open your mind

And learn son, learn

And everything you see the Father do

Ask Him to show you how

Peace is here if you want it

'Cause war is running out of wars to fight

[Chorus]

The children are bawling out

Wonder what life is all about

The mothers is crying out

And they don't know what love is all about

Some cross their hearts and they hope to die

Wanna meet their Maker in the sky

Open your mind, open your eyes and see the light

This is the time of Armageddon

Armageddon time is now

Mother, tell me, tell me

Do you know where your children are?

I say mother, mother

Do you know where your children are?
