D.J. Chill House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And many of us have much to mourn
For the full moon high shining bright
Casts a picture of shadowy light
I wish I could sing a pretty song
One with children to play along
Violence stalks and bleeds by day and night
And my tears are silent for the many fallen
For their cries stricken forever call'en
I wish I could sing a pretty song
One with children to play along
And these children our future to be
Would bring a world of peace to me
And in their eyes and laughing voice
A sign to us there's always a choice
And as this year begins to seems so dark
Perhaps there's a light to which we can hark
That in these children to play along
We even yet may sing a song
I wish I could sing a pretty song
One with children to play along
One with children to play along
