"When the Children Cry" is a power ballad, performed by the rock group White Lion on their 1987 album "Pride". The single peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #53 in Canada, and #88 in the UK in early 1989.

In early 2003, just before the beginning of the Iraq War, it was re-released as a cover by Christian indie rock group Seventh Day Slumber. In 2007, T Beats UK produced a hip hop remix of the song using a sample from the first verse. [http://www.remixent.com/?page_id=4]
