Lyrics
WE ARE THE CHILDREN BORN OF THE STORM OF TOMORROW
Your wars are still histories
Of numbers who have died
Your politicians have stolen and lied
I?m sure that you have tried
Chorus
And we are the children born of the storm of tomorrow
Born of the storm of tomorrow
Look at you father see if you find
Growing old is growing behind
For new thoughts are needed
To help guide mankind
Chorus
And we are the children born of the storm of tomorrow
Born of the storm of tomorrow
You robber oil barons have sold this land short
Use gas just like water we were raised we were taught
The war in Arabia?s for democracy
But their black gold is all we will free
Chorus
And we are the children born of the storm of tomorrow
Born of the storm of tomorrow
Bridge
We are your daughters we are your sons
You give the orders and we carry the guns
We the children will be the dead ones
Chorus
And we are the children born of the storm of tomorrow
Born of the storm of tomorrow
I volunteered to defend our land
Now on the frontlines I don?t understand
My comrades are dying in a useless war
My survival is all I?m fighting for
Chorus
And we are the children born of the storm of tomorrow
Born of the storm of tomorrow
Bridge
We are your daughters we are your sons
You give the orders and we carry the guns
We the children will be the dead ones
Chorus
And we are the children born of the storm of tomorrow
Born of the storm of tomorrow
