Yesterday I heard the news
That four million Russian children are homeless
They've been abandoned by the people they trust
Now they are cold and lonely
Lives are hopeless
Children of the world are dying
People say they care
They are lying
If this life was theirs
They'd be crying
Is it really fair
We're not trying
Yesterday I heard the news
That twenty million Asian children are homeless
They've been abandoned by the people they love
They've been beaten down so hard they can't get up
Children of the world are dying
People say they care
But they are lying
If this life was theirs
They'd be crying
Is it really fair
We're not trying
Yes, some of us are born free were born free
While others have to struggle to survibe
Some of us are born free were born free
While others have to fight to stay alive
Some of us are born free were born free
Don't they deserve to have a better life
Some of us are born free were born free
Children of the world
People say they care
Well they are lying
If this life was theirs
They'd be crying
Is it really fair
We're not trying, no no, no no, no no
Life is beautiful for some
Life is beautiful for us
Life isn't beautiful for them
Maybe life can be beautiful again for them
