About When the Children Cry

"When the Children Cry" is a song performed by the rock band White Lion. It is the third single and 10th and final track on their 1987 album Pride. The power ballad peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #7 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and #88 in the UK in early 1989. The song was also re-recorded in 1999 on the album Remembering White Lion (also released as "Last Roar" in 2004). A live version was released on the album Rocking the USA. The re-recorded and live versions were both released as promo singles and later on iTunes. In 2004, an acoustic version of "When the Children Cry" was included on the "VH1 Classic Metal Mania: Stripped" compilation. In early 2003, just before the beginning of the Iraq War, it was covered by Christian indie rock group Seventh Day Slumber. In 2008, the song was sampled by Sabac Red on "As Children Cry". more »

The little girl standing in the rain on the corner of
42nd street and she's all alone on the bad side of town cause
There was a little boy that she loved with all her heart but
He's far away with another girl now she's searching for a
Friend just to hold her when she cries in her lonely nights,
Lonely nights where no one seems to care in her lonely nights,
Lonely nights you better beware but baby you try and you try 
But it seems that it doesn't work cause love is a game that
They play so baby hold on to your heart when they tell you
That they care yeah now that you know that the winner takes
What he wants but she's searching for a friend just hold her
When she cries in her lonely nights, lonely nights where no
One seems to care in her lonely nights, lonely nights you
Better beware and somewhere in the night there's a little cry
 A girl who says hey I wanna die there's no one here who cares
 But if there's someone here who understands just someone here
Who'll try to lend a hand and bring her home tonight, tonight 
In her lonely nights, etc...
