Help The Children

歌詞

(Help them. Help our children. Help them. Help our children) Will you let them be? (Help the children) Will you help the children live to see... (Help the children) A generation's trying (bombs and crack) Oh, how we're dying (Dance, help them) Will you let them be? (Help the children) Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) A better day is coming (we need love) To keep our lives going Life is here and then it's gone And what seems right can be oh-so wrong Let's protect, and not molest, a young girl And help them live to see, this world Clearly, as it is And pray for the mother with kids (kids) Who's lost control, but not her soul Many kids will die before they're 20 years old Will you let them be? (Help our children) Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) A generation's trying (bombs and crack) Oh, how we're dying (Dance, help them) Will you let them be? (Help the children) Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) A better day is coming (we need love) To keep our lives going Pops (pops) where in the world have you gone I see Momma (momma) by the telephone Waiting (waiting) but you don't call Tears on her face and I see them fall It hurts (hurts) but will go on You're just another brother who's left his home And family (family), yeah we cry, Momma says she love you and I don't even know why (why why why) Will you let them be? (Why? Help them. Help our children) Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) A generation's trying (bombs and crack) Oh, how we're dying (Dance, help them) Will you let them be? (Help the children) Will you help the children live to see,(Help the children) A better day is coming (we need love) To keep our lives going Money and death, the lie, the truth A dime bag of crack, the end of you Black and white, a constant fight Years and years, and day and night There was a right, I've got to stand To make a better way for a young black man In a land (a land) where the people smile Been holding me back for such a long while (while, while, wow, while) Will you let them be? (Help our children) Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) A generation's trying (bombs and crack) Oh, how we're dying (Dance, help them) Will you let them be? (Help the children) Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) A better day is coming (we need love) To keep our lives going Help them, will you let them be? Children (children) don't be fooled And learn about the way that man was ruled This country (country) where we live And read about the sixties and what they did So that we (we) won't forget And love one another and give respect When I see (see) a man who's old A woman who's grey, it touches my soul Because I know (know) they paved the way So we could be here and live this way There was a time (time) not long ago When in the-front-of-the-bus into the back I had to go It appears (it appears) that things have changed Maybe it's in the method but it's still the same game (game, game, game, game, game, game) Will you let them be? (Help our children) Will you help the children live to see, (Help the children) A generation's trying (bombs and crack) Oh, how we're dying (Dance, help them) Will you let them be!
