Childhood's End

(Harris)

I'd sail across the ocean, I'd walk a hundred miles
If I could make it to the end, oh just to see a smile
You see it in their faces, the sadness in their tears
The desperation and the anger, madness and the fear

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here
Starvation and the hunger, the suffering and the pain
The agonies of all-out war, when will it ever end?
The struggle for the power, a tyrant tries again
Just what the hell is going on? When will it ever end?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here
(2:46-Solo: Janick Gers)

You see the full moon float, you watch the red sun rise
We take these things for granted, but somewhere someone's dying
Contaminated waters, pollution and decay
Just waiting for disease to strike, oh will we learn someday?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed, childhood's end
