Tell me why
The rain must fall
On all the children of the world

They do not have
Some sunny land
Where white knights
Will take them by the hand

They are born
They live alone for so long
Why can't you leave them alone
Some day they may
Sing your song

And after all
They are so sad and small
You've made them
Orphans in the world

They're in the land
That you forgot
Where only
Hands and eyes are real

Your face is strange
It looks just like rain
We are not as holy as you are
But we are not as cruel

So is this your plan
With our own hands
To be everything
You're not

They are born
They live alone for so long
Why can't you leave them alone
Some day you may
Sing their song
