Whenever I hear this piece, I see a photo montage in my head of children. I decided to create a video that is fairly close to the images I see. The image quality isn't great for some of the photos, as I had to rely on internet images, rather than being able to take my own photographs.
Lyrics:
Can you hear the prayer of the children on bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room?
Empty eyes with no more tears to cry turning heavenward toward the light.
Crying, "Jesus, help me to see the morning light of one more day,
but if I should die before I wake, I pray my soul to take."
Can you feel the hearts of the children aching for home, for something of their very own.
Reaching hands with nothing to hold onto but hope for a better day, a better day.
Crying, "Jesus, help me to feel the love again in my own land,
but if unknown roads lead away from home, give me loving arms, 'way from harm."
(oooooo la da da dom etc.)
Can you hear the voice of the children softly pleading for silence in their shattered world?
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate, blood of the innocent on their hands.
Crying, "Jesus, help me to feel the sun again upon my face?
For when darkness clears, I know you're near, bringing peace again."

Can you hear the prayer of the children?
