About my chosen charity:
 
Abandoned Street Kids:
Dan has written two new songs after hearing about the plight of the street kids in the Philippines.
It is now Dan’s ambition to build a orphanage for the children and  to improve the lives of street children and teenagers who live and work on the streets by motivating them towards feed education and shelter.

Its no easy feat but I am sure that with my determination and your help
I can succeed.

Did you know it takes one pound a week to feed a child, all children wear a uniform so no child feels different a uniform cost a pound each.

“WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY “is the new CD that will be played on local radio round the country.

Please support by buying the CD all profits go to the charity.

New song to build awareness and action for children
 

 

(republishing, copying, no restrictions)
By: Father Shay Cullen
 

The moving song about the suffering of children was written and recorded by Dan the Man with arrangement by Garry Ryan. A CD of this great contribution to the cause of children rights is available at www.dantheman.me.uk It is a powerful education and awareness building work of art that will be ideal for schools, radio, and song analysis sessions. I heartily encourage using this as a instrument of education and awareness building for the protection of children.

   WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY  

I CLOSED MY EYES, AND DRIFTED,
DRIFTED OF TO SLEEP VISIONS CAME TO ME  
 I SAW CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD
AND IT LEFT ME WITH DESPAIR,
CHILDREN LIVING IN THE STREETS,
CRYING AND STARVING EVERYWHERE,
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE,
SO TELL ME WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY

OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS,
WHERE DO YOU ALL COME FROM,
NO HOME TO GO TO,
FORGOTTEN IN LIFE
I'VE WATCHED YOU ALL RUN AWAY AND HIDE
FROM THE BIG BAD MONSTERS OF THE DARK, DARK NIGHT

DON'T YOU KNOW THEY NEED OUR HELP,
CAN'T DO IT FOR THEMSELVES
WHY DO WE GO TO WAR , AND SPEND OUR MONEY ON GUNS
LITTLE CHILDREN SUFFER AGAIN, WHEN WILL WE EVER LEARN
THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE, THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY,
TODAY LETS MAKE IT RIGHT
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE, SO TELL ME WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY

OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS
WHERE DO YOU ALL COME FROM, NO HOME TO GO TO,
FORGOTTEN IN LIFE
I'VE WATCHED YOU ALL RUN AWAY AND HIDE
FROM THE BIG BAD MONSTERS OF THE DARK, DARK NIGHT

SO ALL YOU LEADERS OF THE WORLD THINK ON
THEIRS THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ON THE STREETS,
SO LETS START BY HELPING THEM, TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE
ALL THEY NEED IS LOVE AND KINDNESS AND A HELPING HAND
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE, WHY CAR’NT YOU UNDERSTAND
WHY DO WE TURN A BLIND EYE, TELL ME WHY DO THE CHILDREN CRY

OH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS

FROM THE BIG BAD MONSTERS OF THE DARK. DARK NIGHT
