God Bless the Children
God Bless the Children: A Prayer for Peace in Troubled Times
Lyrics
god bless the children
Expressing a wish for divine protection and guidance for children.
caus they cant' stop what men do
Children are vulnerable to the actions of men, emphasizing their inability to prevent harm.
and that's why lord i call on you
Seeking divine intervention due to the awareness of human shortcomings.
they dont even know how to sin
Children are innocent and unaware of sinful behavior.
these are troubled times we're livin in
Highlighting the challenging and turbulent nature of the present times.
when things fall
Suggesting that things are collapsing or failing.
children cry
Children express distress through crying.
yes lord some will die
Recognition of the harsh reality that some children may lose their lives.
lord lord lord lord lord
Repetition for emphasis and a plea for divine mercy.
god bless the children
Reiteration of the blessing for children.
god bless the children
Continued emphasis on the divine blessing for children.
teach us how to love
Request for guidance in learning how to love more profoundly.
like never before
Hope for an end to constant warfare.
and may we never steady war no more
Desire for a peaceful world and a plea to eliminate war.
talk to the hearts of the men who lead us
Calling for a change in the hearts of those in leadership positions.
and make them understand it's the children who need us
Stressing the importance of prioritizing the needs of children in leadership decisions.
ohhhh yes i know
Acknowledging an awareness of the moral wrongdoing.
it's not right
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
if men must fight
Questioning the necessity of men engaging in conflict.
lord lord lord lord lord
Repetition for emphasis and a plea for divine intervention.
god bless the children
Reiteration of the blessing for children.
so many times i've heard this phrase
Reflecting on the common expression that troubles won't last forever.
that trouble it won't last always
Acknowledging the truth in the phrase but questioning the prolonged nature of difficulties.
i'm not saying this phrase is wrong
Clarifying that the phrase isn't dismissed but raising a concern about its duration.
but i'm wondering why it has to last so long
Expressing a sense of wonder about the extended duration of troubles.
i see a newborn baby
Observing the innocence of a newborn child in its mother's arms.
in a proud mothers arms
Highlighting the contrast between the purity of a newborn and the challenges faced by countries.
then to think of all the countires that now have them
Expressing concern and a plea for divine intervention.
lord lord lord lord lord
Repetition for emphasis and a final plea for divine blessing.
