Lyrics

Always the war in 1983 - this is the world of today.In our mind there is only the money and there is nothing for you.Then hours workno flowers in the mindthe life runs without happin@Every day dreams to go to a better lifebut they remain only dreams.You are the childrenyour life will be very hard.You are the childrenyou're singing every day.To have a friend to explain your little problemCan you say now to have it?Sometimes you hope it's only an illusionDon't hope it's better so.But children power will winI am surewill see sweet lovers for us.Your fantasy will find new nice coloursBut now it's time to go.You are the childrenYour life will be very hard. . ..You are the childrenYour life will be very hard. . . .You are the childrenYour life will be very hard. . . .
