The Simple Truth (A Child Is Born) - Chris De Burgh

作词：Chris De Burgh

作曲：Chris De Burgh

A child is born on a battlefield

A soldier boy falls to his knees

And a woman cries in joy and pain

When will we all live in peace again

A child is born where the wild wind blows

In a country torn from the south to the north

And a family runs from day to day

When will we see our home again

When will we see the simple truth

That the only thing that's worth a damn

The life of a child is more than a forest

The life of a child is more than a border

Could ever be

A child is born in the desert sun

A tiny life has just begun

And a mother cries for her hungry babe

When will I feed my boy again

A child is born to an ordinary home

East or west it could be anyone

But we all want to know

Will my child survive to see the day

When we will be secure again

When will we see the simple truth

That the only thing that's worth a damn

The life of a child is more than a forest

The life of a child is more than a border

The life of a child is more than a region

The life of a child is only a heartbeat from eternity

We must believe for the sake of humanity

We must believe

For the sake of humanity we must believe
