dont take this, dont take this world away from me
dont take this world away from me
dont take this, dont take this world away from me
dont take this, dont take this world away
the future decides the roles we play
the struggles to sell the past away
the after thought is staring back on better days
cause our daughters and sons will live to pay
through every mistake that we have made
through every conviction weve betrayed
so let the children sing
dont take this, dont take this world away from me
dont take this world away from me
yeah
so while we contempt to waste away
the answer that only time could chase
the question well ask ourselves from here, to eternity
will it be worth the price to pay
to living the lives of our remains
how do you think we will explain
when the children sing
dont take this, dont take this world away from me
dont take this world away from me
can we find a way
to face today
with the eye on the things to come
cause mistakes weve made
bring on decay
and our chance to make a difference will be gone
oh
yeah x2
so this is the price to pay this is the price to pay
for living in our remains living in our remains
just listen as the children sing
dont take this, dont take this world away away
dont take this, dont take this world away from me
dont take this world away from me
whoa, whoa, whoa. x2
