They're alone though they are millions on this Earth
They are tired of being held captive since their birth
And we could help but we choose to look astray
We live so great as we dance this guilt away
They are cold even the sun can't warm their bones
They are scared that no one will hear their prayers
I hear their psalms but I can't do this on my own
They need your help so let them know it's on the way
Hey you, why don't you leave those kids alone
They haven't done a thing you
The sun has brought conviction
Their conviction is based on lies
Well lies can set a man free
It's their freedom that's in disguise
Yet still they sing
Why is this happening to me
Why won't they let me be
The words they say are not enough
Cause their words won't set me free
Hey you, why don't you leave those kids alone
They haven't done a thing to you
Can they live like this
This can't be it
