(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?!?!?!
