Lyrics The Children of Eve - Linda Eder

The Children of Eve

Don’t cry… You had a bad dream, that’s all
Don’t cry… Now it’s all gone
Don’t cry… They’re just shadows on the wall
Don’t cry… They always move on
All the children of Eve sleeping somewhere tonight
Dream of days when the shadows are gone
All the children of Eve say a prayer every night
Praying there’ll be no dragons at dawn
One child… Learning to take the fall
One child… Living in war
No child… Just shadows on the wall
One child… And millions more
Not all children of Eve sleep in peace every night
Not all nightmares are over at dawn
When the children of Eve become dragons and fight
The the whole vicious circle rolls on
But all that matters now
Is finding some way somehow
To leave this winter far behind
I swear…
I’m scared of the shadows too
One day… I’ll try and be there for you
Till there are no dragons in that sky
All the children of Eve are sleeping somewhere tonight
Dream of days when the shadows are gone
All the children of Eve say a prayer every night
Praying there’ll be no dragons at dawn
