Lyrics

(Verse 1)
All the children walking home,
Backpacks swinging, shoes untied.
Chasing sunlight through the roads,
Dreams too wide to hide.
In their laughter, echoes grow,
Little seeds we’ve sown in time.
Every step, a world they’ll know,
Every heart, a sign.
(Chorus)
All the children, hold their names,
Like bright sparks in the falling rain.
May their voices never fade,
May the walls all melt away.
All the children, every land,
Reach each other, hand in hand.
(Verse 2)
Under stars they sketch the skies,
Draw their futures in the sand.
Ask us softly, “Why the lies?
Why can’t love just stand?”
And the answers come and go,
Like the tides beneath the moon.
But they’ll learn what we don’t know,
And they’ll make it bloom.
(Chorus)
All the children, hold their names,
Like bright sparks in the falling rain.
May their voices never fade,
1:43
May the walls all melt away.
All the children, young and grown,
Find a place to call their own.
(Bridge)
Tell them stories, tell them truth,
Sing them dreams we never knew.
