They say he died for a reason
They say he suffered for all of us
They say his life had a meaning
And he lives on in all of us
He lives on
In the heart of the warrior
Hate and rage flowing from his eyes
He's the straw, the desperate cling to
When all hope's gone
Where morality dies
In the name of love
He carried his cross up the hill
But his message is fading
It seems never fulfilled
(Child's play)
If someone shed a tear for a missing child
One in a million
That won't be enough
(Child's play)
If someone says a prayer for you
One of these children
That don't count at all
With his hand on the bible
He swears to tell the truth
But the answers never will be found
And he will rest on holy ground
In the name of love
He carried his cross up the hill
But his message is fading
It seems never fulfilled
(Child's play)
If someone shed a tear for a missing child
One in a million
That won't be enough
(Child's play)
If someone says a prayer for you
One of these children
That don't count at all
