Pope Francis

"¿Por qué sufren los ninos?"

Pope Francis recently revealed plans to take his musical message to the masses with a rock album called Wake Up! and shared the title track. Now, keeping the faith strong, he's unveiled another song from the forthcoming record.
 
Titled "¿Por qué sufren los ninos?," the new song is a slightly more sombre affair, asking the question: "Why do children suffer?"
 
The track features a speech from the Pontiff that was delivered at St. Thomas University in the Philippines back in January, and is backed by dramatic orchestral arrangements and choral accompaniments.
 
Fans hoping for an arena rock banger might be disappointed, but you can give it a listen in the player below and decide for yourself. Wake Up! is officially out on November 27 through Believe Digital.
