Save the Children Lyrics

Save the children and we might save the world
It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, ohA 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 truthAnd have the chances to taste the innocence of youth
The innocence of youth, the innocence of youth
You know what we have to doSave the children and we might save the world
It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, ohA 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 handWe 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 himThe 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 sinOh, what's going on, what's going on?
I can remember another friend of mine tellin' me
Change gonna come, oh, yes it willSave the children and we might save the world
Every mother's wish for her boy and girl, ohSave, save the children, save, save the children
Save, save the children, we gotta save the childrenSave, save the children, save, save the children

Save, save the children, we gotta save the childrenListen, 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 outNo 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 lightI'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 lifeSave, save the children, save, save the children
Save, save the children, save, save the childrenWe gotta save the children, save, save the children
Save, save the childrenStop, stop, stop, stop, stop
We've got to stop
