Don't cryYou had a bad dream, that's all
Don't cryNow it's all gone
Don't cryThey're just shadows on the wall
Don't cryThey 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 childLearning to take the fall
One childLiving in war
No childJust shadows on the wall
One childAnd 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
Then 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 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
