Låttexter: Story of the Year. The Children Sing.

don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me
don't take this
don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away

our future decides the roles we play
struggles to sell the past away
the afterthought is staring back on better days
cause our daughters and sons will live to pay
for every mistake that we have made
for every conviction we've betrayed
so let the children sing

don't take this
don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me

yeah
so what we can do to waste away
an answer only time betrays
a question we'll ask ourselves from here to eternity
will it be worth the price to pay
for living the lives in our remains
how do you think we will explain
when the children sing

don't take this
don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me

can we find a way to face today
with an eye on the things to come
cause mistakes we made will bring our decay
and our chance to make a difference will be gone

oh!
yeah!
yeah!

so this is the price to pay
for living in our remains
just listen as the children sing

don't take this
don't take this world away
don't take this
don't take this world away from me
don't take this world away from me

woah [x6]
