we are children of the sun
we are children of the rain
pale and wonderful and wild
we are children of the rain

we are children of the sun
we are children of the rain
walking handsome, brave and sane
we god's children down the drain

you know, this night we can't save you
goodbye, small world undergone
you know, this night we can't heal you
goodnight, small world undergone
you know, this night we can't save the world
nor do we save you any time at all
