What About The Children · letra

Verse 1

Tears streaming down, her heart is broken Because her life is hurting, so am I He wears a frown, his dreams are choking And because he stands alone, his dreams will die So, humbly I come to you and say As I sound aloud the warfare of today Hear me, I pray

Chorus

What about the children? To ignore is so easy So many innocent children will choose the wrong way So what about the children? Remember when we were children And if not for those who loved us And who cared enough to show us Where would we be today? Mmm, mmm

Verse 2

Sir, where is your son? Where lies his refuge? And if he can't come to you, then where can he run? Such a foolish girl, yet still, she's your daughter And if you will just reminisce your days of young You see, it's not where you've been, nor what you've done Because I know a friend who specializes in great outcomes See, His love overcomes

Chorus

And what about the children? To ignore is so easy So many innocent children will choose the wrong way Yes, what about the children? Remember when we were children And if not for those who loved us And who cared enough to show us Where would we be today?

Outro

What about the children? Don't just turn and walk away What about the children? They need our love and our help today Yes, what about the children? Remember when we were children And if not for those who loved us And who cared enough to show us Where would we be today? Mmm, mmm Where would we be today? Mmm, mmm Where would we be today? What about the the children?
