This film is dedicated to the real victims of war, hatred and unforgiving hearts: Children.This serves as but a part of my prayer for those who have suffered at places such as Columbine, Africa, Virginia Tech, Chechnya and other war-torn, hate filled places. Though we may not be able to cause the wars abroad to cease, we can cause the wars within our hearts and homes to end. Forgive and love others. Truly these small and simple steps can eventually cause great and powerful strides in the world. "The Prayer of the Children" by Kurt Bestor and Sam CardonCan you hear the prayer of the children?On bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown roomEmpty eyes with no more tears to cryTurning heavenward toward the lightCrying jesus, help meTo see the morning light-of one more dayBut if i should die before i wake,I pray my soul to takeCan you feel the hearts of the children?Aching for home, for something of their very ownReaching hands, with nothing to hold on to,But hope for a better day a better dayCrying jesus, help meTo feel the love again in my own landBut if unknown roads lead away from home,Give me loving arms, away from harmCan you hear the voice of the children?Softly pleading for silence in a shattered world?Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate,Blood of the innocent on their handsCrying jesus, help meTo feel the sun again upon my face,For when darkness clears i know you're near,Bringing peace againDali cujete sve djecje molitive?(croatian translation:'can you hear all the children's prayers?')Can you hear the prayer of the children?

You forgot to mention Iraq and Afghanistan in your description there buddy boy. You know, the places we actually had some control over in introducing war. I guess you only meant war caused by groups you're not a part of.

In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don't want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is the savior and hope.

the true meaning of this song comes from a man teaching music in Africa during war whom would daily visit a childrens hospital for the wounded.one day he came back and absolutely nothing was left, the hospital had been bombed over night.he immediatly went back to his tent to write this.19 people better feel pretty bad right now

@DuchessBTRCP Ever to consider that there's something called reverb that happens a lot when an acapella of guys do this in a recording studio?
