Save the Children

歌詞

Save the children and we might save the world It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh A child was born inside this city yesterday His mother held him to her breast as she began to pray Please let them grow up to be strong and know the truth And have the chances to taste the innocence of youth The innocence of youth, the innocence of youth You know what we have to do Save the children and we might save the world It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh A baby starts out with his back against the wall He has to learn to survive before he learns to crawl He needs somebody who can give him a daddy hand We brought them into this world, they deserve a chance They deserve a chance, got to have a chance Why can't we all understand? Save the baby, save him, ohh ohh, save him The world is lost in a bout of confusion Happiness, happiness, happiness is just an illusion Somewhere it must end even if we have to start Stop and start again, we're defendin' a man's sin Oh, what's going on, what's going on? I can remember another friend of mine tellin' me Change gonna come, oh, yes it will Save the children and we might save the world Every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh Save, save the children, save, save the children Save, save the children, we gotta save the children Save, save the children, save, save the children Save, save the children, we gotta save the children Listen, headed in the wrong direction No love, no love, no love, no love, no love, no love and affection Like a [Incomprehensible] pain we tryin' to figure it out No young boys playin' in the park and havin' fun They find their manhood at the barrel of a loaded gun Can't see their future, just a tunnel with no light I'm lost in the projects runnin' from the night Runnin' from the night, runnin' from the night Runnin' from the night, runnin' from the night Scared for the rest of their life Save, save the children, save, save the children Save, save the children, save, save the children We gotta save the children, save, save the children Save, save the children Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop We've got to stop
