We Are Your Children Too

We are your children too

Too weak, too blind to find your breast

Our brothers stand on us to reach

This justice you have blessed

You give them milk and honey

For us, just milk would do

Oh, give us what we need to live

We are your children too

We are your children too

We are so many children

We overflow this place

You comfort those who fear the dark

And those who dream of space

You rest, they rest, we cannot rest

Our beds are far too few

Oh, give us what we need to live

We are your children too

We are your children too

You keep from us our birthright

You throw our dreams away

We have no joy, we know no peace

We die from day to day

Oh hold us, heed us, help us feed us

Love us mother, do

Oh, give us what we need to live

We are your children too

We are your children too
