Album: Too Late To Hate (2016)
Play Video

Songfacts®:

  • Running to around 4 minutes 17 seconds, this John Lawton and Peter Hesslein composition is the third track on the 2016 Too Late To Hate album. He takes aim at senseless wars and those who suffer for it, as he sings:

    No more wars when children cry
    Upon whose shoulders bear the lies


    An obvious comparison is with the White Lion hit "When The Children Cry." >>>
