Untitled Song

Hey everyone! I wanted to ask for some help with a title for a song (music/lyrics) I've written. I cannot think of anything remotely creative, so any and all suggestions are helpful.

As for some backgroud into the song, I was inspired by the current food shortage crisis going on in Haiti. For more info, go to the Misson Network News site

Here are the lyrics:

(Intro-instrumental)
(v.1)
Oh, the irony of peace is
That for it there is war
History repeats
And peace comes by the sword
Knights and kings have fought them
And soldiers armed in ranks
But who'll cry for the child
Left on the bloody banks

(chorus)
These repetitious words
Keep playing in my mind
That all we've left
Is wasted time
These repetitious words
Keep reeling in my head
That all we've got
Are hearts made of lead

(v.2)
Oh, the irony of hate is
That you can't comprehend
The amount of pain you feel
Oh, once you get revenge
Gangs and mobs have done it
And policemen armed in ranks
But who'll cry for the child
Buried on the banks
(Bridge-instrumental)

(Outro)
Stand up and FIGHT---
For the helpless child
Who can't fight for himself
Stand up and fight
Before the innocent
Are left beyond our help
....
These repetitious words
Keep playing in my mind
That all we've left
Is a little bit of time...

"Crying (1)in/(2)from the Shadows."

"Tears (1)in/(2)from the Shadows."

"Forgotten and Lost."

"Hurting in the Shadows."

"Small voices, Big tears."

"Small Voices."

"Requiem for the (1)lost/(2)forgotten children."

"Innocent."


And Ruby's suggested title would be the strongest, in my opinion, thus far.

Powerful song and lyrical content Bethany. Well done from me. :o)

Actually like Ruby's the best.

Or: "Look where all this talking's got us..."

('cause we all talk about peace, but few take action as you have done with this song to make a difference)

And I agree, I'd like to hear it!
