Children Of The Grave
Ozzy Osbourne · Tribute [2010]
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
So you children of the world,
listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave, Yeah!

By revisiting this anthem, Osbourne reinforces the lasting impact of the original composition while demonstrating how his vocal style has evolved over decades of performing heavy metal. This version stands as a respectful homage within a broader collection of covers that celebrate the genre's history.
