Text: Simple Minds. Real Life. Let The Children Speak.

Time, way out of line
A whole nation waits outside
The rhythm of tomorrow
Dance away their sorrows tonight

Lost, broken and scarred
Prisoner waits outside
With his lone heart beating

Let the children, let the children
Let the children speak
Let the children, let the children speak

Aims, dangerous games
Their mother says one false move
And we all get hurt
I feel this sense of power
I feel it every hour tonight

Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy 'cause
One more kick and the door slides open

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

I'm begging you now, let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Let's not get lazy tonight
Things could get crazy 'cause
One more kick and the door cracks open

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak
Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

Things could get crazy tonight
Let's not get lazy 'cause
One last kick and the door cracks open

Let the children, let the children
Let the children, let the children speak

I'm begging you now, let the children
Let the children, let the children
Let the children
