Last year, while watching one of American Idol's episodes,

"Idol Payback"; I was inspired to write this song:

War of the Children
(arlenkalifuentes)

Intro: A-G 2x

There is a war that is raging

And spreading all over the land.

A G A G

Slowly, silently it is getting closer to your doorstep

Where the enemy has no mercy

And it doesn't spare anyone,

No one, everyone is in danger even the young.
Pre -Chorus

Everywhere is a battlefield, everyone can be an enemy

G A

Anyone can be a friend who could lend a hand.

Chorus

E D E D

In the war of the children, in the war for our children

A F #m

In the war of a motherland

This world can be a better place

If we could work as one.
Narration:

C-D-C-D
This old warrior should had been retired
He is too old to even hold his weapon and armor
How would he fight?
Inside and out his body is weak
And his eyes are nearly blind.
He should have stayed in his abode
while waitin for his "time".

E-F-G-A
But in the dead of the night
He heard the cry of a child.
Cruel world, cruel world
That is what she said before she died.
Oh when the children plea
When the children cry
Pray that they are not your children.

Adlib: A-G 4x
Repeat pre-chorus
Then repeat chorus 2times

A song written, arranged, recorded, and performed by the author: ArlenKaliFuentes.
