Rise up and scream About the way that you've been used Don't let the children of the future be abused Well you've watched yourself And you know where you went wrong If you can believe Then you know you can be strong It's tough to take To learn from a mistake So tough to take It's tough to take. You look around And you're amazed at what you see Children of the streets buying and selling And giving it away for free Look down your nose And cry of inhumanity Then walk away And believe you can be free It's tough to take To learn from a mistake So tough to take It's tough to take. Just close your eyes And leave tomorrow for the next generation Surround yourself in some sorrow of the past Don't let them in If you do the pain might last You are the cause And the blindness brings me pain It's tough to take To learn from a mistake So tough to take It's tough to take.
