Bring the children to me;
Tell them to be at ease.
Bring the children to me;
We will talk not of war but peace.
Bring the children to me,
Worn and wounded from the war;
Bring the children to me,
Those bound and burned and scarred.
Bring the children to me;
They no longer have to roam.
Bring the children to me;
We will talk instead of home.
Bring the children to me
To heal war's dark disease.
Bring the children to me
To smoke the pipe of peace.
