Children in Africa suffering
I’m just trying to serve my king
People keep asking me what I’m doing
Are you listening or are you just hearing

The voice of children as they cry at night
Abducted in their sleep to join a fight
Crying to the world in a voice of fear
That no one cares and no one will hear

When an eight year old child is handed an AK-47
Forced to shoot his best friend
Wonders will he ever go to heaven
What kind of people are we
If we don’t do a thing
Are you listening or are you just hearing
