They've been there, some children are playing around
They've gathering in the alley, among the old walls
Laughing and runing, chasing each other
A space of pure and innocent
Little Jhon's wearing new shoes
Little Sarah looks with two braids on her hair
Young Tom is hiding behind the barrel
Because his father calls him to go home
Yeah.
And the smile of children makes it better
When there's doubt about the future of the world
And the spirit of a hope live forever
As they grow like the sunrise in the morning
There's Evan, He was six years old
But He seems the tallest among his friends
Looking at the sky, when a plane is flying
And then He returns to his friends
Little Danny's enjoying his ice cream
Look doesn't matter to the crowd around him
And his little sister's playing with soap bubbles
Her tiny puff glistens in the air
Look at them into their world
Living their days, learning new things
Without threat deceit and greed
Without hypocrisy and without trick
There will be alot of hope
And the power to shake the world
