We Are Your Children Too

We are your children too
Too weak, too blind to find your breast
Our brothers stand on us to reach
This justice you have blessed
You give them milk and honey
For us, just milk would do
Oh, give us what we need to live
We are your children too
We are your children too
We are so many children
We overflow this place
You comfort those who fear the dark
And those who dream of space
You rest, they rest, we cannot rest
Our beds are far too few
Oh, give us what we need to live
We are your children too
We are your children too
You keep from us our birthright
You throw our dreams away
We have no joy, we know no peace
We die from day to day
Oh hold us, heed us, help us feed us
Love us mother, do
Oh, give us what we need to live
We are your children too
We are your children too
