Time, way out of line

A whole nation waits outside

The rhythm of tomorrow

Dance away their sorrows tonight

Lost, broken and scarred

Prisoner waits outside

With his lone heart beating

Let the children, let the children

Let the children speak

Let the children, let the children speak

Aims, dangerous games

Their mother says one false move

And we all get hurt

I feel this sense of power

I feel it every hour tonight

Let's not get lazy tonight

Things could get crazy 'cause

One more kick and the door slides open

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children

Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

I'm begging you now, let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children

Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

Let's not get lazy tonight

Things could get crazy 'cause

One more kick and the door cracks open

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

Power to the powerless, strength unto the weak

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

Things could get crazy tonight

Let's not get lazy 'cause

One last kick and the door cracks open

Let the children, let the children

Let the children, let the children speak

I'm begging you now, let the children

Let the children, let the children

Let the children
