Don't take this world away from me Don't take this world away from me Don't take this, don't take this world away from me Don't take this world away The future decides the roles we play The struggles to sell the past away The afterthought is staring back on better days Cause our daughters and sons will live to pay Through every mistake that we have made Through every conviction we've betrayed So let the children sing Don't take this, don't take this world away from me Don't take this world away from me Yeah, so while we condemn to waste away The answer that only time could trace The question we'll ask ourselves from here to eternity Will it be worth the price to pay To live in the rots of our remains? How do you thing we will explain When the children sing? Don't take this, don't take this world away from me Don't take this world away from me Can we find a way to face today With the eye on the things to come? Cause mistakes we've made bring on decay And our chance to make a difference will be gone So this is the price to pay For living in our remains Just listen as the children sing Don't take this, don't take this world away Don't take this, don't take this world away from me Don't take this world away from me
