Today no one cares
Tomorrow no one shares
Because they all will be gone, but the children
(Children of the fires and floods)
Children of the fires and floods

Who's gonna save the human race?
Where are the children gonna run and hide?
(Children of the fires and floods)
From the fires and floods
Today's people have left behind
(Today's people)

Who's gonna tell
The children of destiny
That we didn't try to save the world for them?
(Children of the fires and floods)
The human race is on
We're all lined up at the starting gun
The crowd is rising to its feet

Who's gonna save the human race?
Where are all the children gonna run and hide?
(Children of the fires and floods)
From the fires and floods
Today's people have left behind
(Today's people)

Child, like a flower
That rose and fell
Back to the earth as it turned to hell
Today's people
From the flames and the waves
Today's people have left behind

(Today's people)
(Today's people)
(Today's people)
(Today's people)
