The Simple Truth Songtext
von 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 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
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 father could ever mean
A child is born in the desert sun
A tiny life has just begun
And a mother cries for a 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
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 father
The life of a child is more than religion
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
