{CHORUS}
No no more ...
No no more child soldiers in Africa...
No no more child soldiers in Asia...
No no more child soldiers in Africa...
No no more child soldiers in Europe...
No no more child soldiers in Australia...
No no more child soldiers in America...
No no more child soldiers in this whole wide world...
REPEAT...CHORUS
SOLO
How long are we going to fight?
How long are we going to kill?
How long are we going to suffer?
Because of ignorance...?
Giving us guns and cigarettes
Introducing guns to us
No better food to eat
Or no better place to sleep
We are living like animals
Just creating confusion
We want to live like anybody...
Like anybody onn Earth
REPEAT...CHORUS
United Nations
Your attention
We call on you for protection
To take control of the child combatant
And the destiny of the young belligerant
Let them drop the guns for the sake of the pen
If not now my brothers, then when?
Let the pen represent the amunition,
Let the paper represent the weapon on Earth
So my brothers and sisters,
This will be a good start...
UNICEF come and take us back to school
For that we can call a future tool,
WFP come and give us some food
We promise to be good
Always at school
Peace...peace...peace that's what we want...
Love...love...love, that's what we need.
