WHEN THE CHILDREN SING- A.K.A. Pella- Adaptation
(Originally “When The Children Cry”- White Lion- Composed By Vito Bratta)

Jewish Child, listen carefully
How can I express what I must say to you
For you were born to a legacy
That stretches back three thousand years
And now it’s left to you.

What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we have lost
you must build again.

CHORUS:
When the children cry
The gates of heaven open wide
And when the children sing
Then the new world begins.

Jewish child, you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
For you were born so the world could see
that we all can live in harmony.

Ancient prophecies, proclaim your destiny
And you, my child, you are the key
These words I leave to you.

CHORUS:
When the children cry
The gates of heaven open wide
And when the children sing
Then the new world begins.

Ancient prophecies, proclaim your destiny
And you, my child, you are the key
These words I leave to you.

CHORUS:
When the children cry
The gates of heaven open wide
When the children fight
Then the day turns to night.
When the children pray
Then the night turns to day
And when the children sing
Then the new world begins.

When the children cry
The gates of heaven open wide
When the children fight
Then the day turns to night.
When the children pray
Then the night turns to day
And when the children sing
Then the new world begins,

Jewish child…
