## Lyrics
[verse]
Sing a song for a city torn in silence
Sing a song for the mothers standing guard
Every wall in this town has heard the violence
Every door has learned to lock too hard

[chorus]
Child of this troubled town, sleep now
Child of this troubled town, dream of peace
Someday the guns will still their sound
Someday this sorrow finally ceases

[verse]
Sing a song for the children in the doorways
Sing a song for the fathers who won't return
Every corner holds the weight of all our sorrow
Every year we watch the candles burn

[chorus]
Child of this troubled town, sleep now
Child of this troubled town, dream of peace
Someday the guns will still their sound
Someday this sorrow finally ceases

[bridge]
Rain will fall and wash the walls of anger
Time will come to lay the old hurt down
Let the bells replace the sound of danger
Let there be a kinder sound around

[chorus]
Child of this troubled town, sleep now
Child of this troubled town, dream of peace
Someday the guns will still their sound
Someday this sorrow finally ceases
