Children of the sea lyrics

Mother took me in her arms

She said son, listen to me;

Soldiers with their bombs and guns

Made us leave our country.

With strangers, friends and family,

We set sail for a dream.

I hope someday you'll understand

Why home is home no more.

And she said,

You are the children of the ocean

You are the children of the sea

There's no going back

We must go on

On and on

On and on

Why are you crying mother,

Are we all going to die?

As long as we're together

I'm not afraid at all

Mother where has Daddy gone?

Did they kill him too?

When I grow up

I'll stop them,

From treating us so cruel.

And she said,

You are the children of the ocean

You are the children of the sea

There's no going back

We must go on

On and on

On and on

Is it true as you have said,

People are waiting somewhere,

To feed me, Clothe, love me

And tuck me into bed.

So mother, I'll be good to night

Sleep tight till the dawn,

When the morning sun would shine its light

To lead us on and on
