Excerpts & Lyrics

Chapter Four: The Children

Flash Player is required for audio samples.

To intentionally hurt a child elicits gut wrenching responses from most human beings. That is why the premeditated action to annihilate approximately 1.5 million children during the Holocaust is singularly one of the most despicable and heinous actions ever to be undertaken by human kind. Children’s lives should be filled with love, laughter and learning, not violent hate and loathing. They truly were innocent and with profound sadness we all must ask, why?

The Children

Full Chorus | Children’s Chorus | Female Soloist

Fly away, Fly away
Come fly away with me
Run, go hide, let’s all go play outside
I’ll hide you seek you’ll never ever find me
No no, you can't, no no, you can't, NO
Can't hide from us

Fly away Fly away
Come fly away with me
Life’s begun there’s so much to be done
We like to sing, let’s climb a tree,
let’s make some tea
We want to learn ‘bout everything,
yes everything

And when I am a king, a queen,
you’ll want to come and fly with me
We’ll fly so high our heads will bump the sky
And when we reach we’ll touch a star
and make a wish and dream we are
A shining light for all the world to see
Please take my hand and come and fly with...
Me

Something is wrong in here
Why does my mother cry?
My father looks so sad
What could be so bad?
I don’t know why I’m so afraid
Please hear me God
Make it go away

Fly away, Fly away take me back home
Where we laughed, where we loved, we smiled
What did we do?
We say to make them hate us this way?
Fly away far from here

They took my home, my friends, family
Took my days, my nights, my time to be
They took everything I had
and now they’ll take me

Fly away Fly away take me back home
Where we laughed, where we loved, we smiled
What did we do?
We say to make them hate us this way?
Fly away far from here
Fly away far from here

Where are you God?
Why did you hide?
I’m all alone
I need you now God
Please hear me

Look at me
Look and see
I’m like you
You’re like me
I hope I dream
I hurt I cry
I want to live
I want to fly

Look around
We’re much the same
What may be different
Is just in name
And I hope
And I pray
There’ll come a day when we will say

No more hate...fly away
No more tears...fly away
No more crying...fly away
No more fear...fly away
And I believe that day
I believe that day will come
