Prologue: Tears of the Children

If the stars fell,
If the earth crumbled,
If the seas dried up,
If the flowers withered,
Who would be there to see it?

If the cities burned,
If the meadows became desolate,
If the mountains fell,
If the birds stopped singing,
Who would be there to see it?

A child motherless,
A family homeless,
An infant ignored,
A world loveless,
Who will be there to wipe away the tears of the children?
