Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album blue moves
Torn from their families
Mothers go hungry
To feed their children
But children go hungry
ThereÔÇÖs so many big men
TheyÔÇÖre out making millions
When povertyÔÇÖs profits
Just blame the children
If thereÔÇÖs a God in heaven
WhatÔÇÖs he waiting for
If he canÔÇÖt hear the children
Then he must see the war
But it seems to me
That he leads his lambs
To the slaughter house
And not the promised land
Dying for causes
They donÔÇÖt understand
WeÔÇÖve been taking their futures
Right out of their hands
They need the handouts
To hold back the tears
ThereÔÇÖs so many crying
But so few that hear
If thereÔÇÖs a God in heaven
Well, whatÔÇÖs he waiting for
If thereÔÇÖs a God in heaven
WhatÔÇÖs he waiting for
