WHO WILL SAVE THE CHILDREN
|
Cry for all the innocent ones
|
born into a world
|
that's lost its heart
|
For those who never
|
learn to dream
|
becuase their hope is crushed
|
before they can start
|
And we shake our fists
|
at the air
|
and say, "If God is love,
|
how can this be fair?"
|
|
But we are His hands
|
We are His voice
|
We are the ones who must
|
make the choice
|
And if it isn't now,
|
tell me when?
|
If it isn't you, then tell me
|
who will save the children?
|
Who will save the children?
|
|
We count our blessings one by one
|
yet we have forgotten how to give
|
It seems that we don't want to face
|
all the hungry and homeless
|
who sturggle to live
|
But heaven is watching tonight
|
tugging at our hearts
|
to do what's right
|
|
And we are His hands
|
We are His voice
|
We are the ones who must
|
make the choice
|
And if it isn't you, then tell me
|
who will save the children?
|
Who will save the children?
|
|
As we observe them through our T.V. screens
|
they seem so distant and unreal
|
But they bleed like we bleed
|
And they feel what we feel
|
Oh, save the children
|
Save the children
|
Save the children
|
|
Now we decide that nothing can change
|
and throw up our hands in numb despair
|
And we lost a piece of our souls
|
by teaching ourselves just
|
how not to care
|
But Christ would have gone to the cross
|
just to save one child from being lost
|
|
And we are His hands
|
We are His voice
|
We are the ones who must
|
make the choice
|
And it must be now
|
There's no time to waste
|
It must be you
|
No one can take your place
|
Can't you see that only we
|
Can save the children
|
Save the children
|
Save the children
|
Please, save the children
|
|
