I saw children through a fence Standing by blue canvas tents I called to them, they move like ghosts Gliding silent and remote A girl who smiled was a straight lie Looked like a creature out of time A grey boy burned by cigarettes Pushed his scarred hands through the fence When I turned, and tried to run I saw ten thousand children Were laid in lines wrapped in white sheets Along a godforsaken street I prayed an angel from the clouds Would free the children, free them, oh oh I prayed and waited for an age I waited but no angel came I prayed an angel from the clouds Would free the children, free them, oh oh I prayed and waited for an age I waited but no angel came I prayed an angel from the clouds Would free the children, free them, oh oh I prayed and waited for an age I waited but no angel came I prayed an angel from the clouds Would free the children, free them, oh oh I prayed and waited for an age I waited but no angel came I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came I prayed an angel would come, but no angel came
