In a city that never sleeps,
Where the light surrounds the darkness
Children live without a dream
In alleys, dark and cold
Little hands, so delicate and weak
Looking for warmth at night
Your eyes, big and wide
Reflect hope and also suffering
Shadow of childhood
So heavy and deep
Hearts break when no one sees them
Whisper quietly, but no one hears
A cry for love
Love
Old shoes, holed and small
Carry dreams of security
Little souls who dream big things
But often freeze in pain
Shadow of childhood
So heavy and deep
Hearts break when no one sees them
Whisper quietly, but no one hears
A cry for love
Love
Old shoes, holed and small
Carry dreams of security
Little souls who dream big things
But often freeze in pain
Who gives them the wings
Which they need
Who will help them get out of trouble
A spark of hope, a little light
So that the darkness
Don't break your hearts
Shadows of childhood, so heavy and deep
Hearts break when no one sees them
Whisper quietly, but no one hears
A cry for love
Love
But in the darkness, there's a bond
A glimmer of hope, a helping hand
Let's stand together for them
That your dreams come true
