The Simple Truth (A Child Is Born) - Lyrics by Chris De Burgh


Lyrics
A child is born on a battlefielda soldier boy falls to his knees
And a woman cries in ioy and painwhen will we live in peace again?A child is born where the wild wind blows
In a country torn from the South to the North.
And a family runs from day to daywhen will we see our home again?
When will we see the simple truth
The only thing that's worth a damn.
The life of a child is more than a forest
The life of a child is more than a bordercould ever be.A child is born in the desert suna tiny life has just begun
And a mother cries for her hungry babewhen will I feed mv boy again?A child is born to an ordinary home
East or Westit could be anyone
But we all want to knowwill my child survive te see the day
When we will be secure againz
When will we see the simple truth
That the only thing that's worth a damn.
The life of a child is more than a forest
The life of a child is more that a border
The life of a child is more than religion
The life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity.
We must believe for the sake of humanitywe must believe -
For the sake of humanitywe must believe.
