Save The Children Lyrics - Artist : Bobby Womack
Oh, oh
Oh, oh Save 'em As I look through my eyes, the world is in a state of confusion Happiness is just an illusion So, I kneel down and I begin to pray Our father (heavenly father) Who art in Heaven (heavenly father) Hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven And give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from all evil For ever and ever and ever (ever, ever) Save the children And we might save the world It's every mother's wish For her boy and girl, oh A 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 truth And have the chances to taste the innocence of youth The innocence of youth, the innocence of youth You know what we have to do Save the children (save 'em) And we might save the world It's every mother's wish (every mother's wish) For her boy and girl, oh A baby starts out with his back against the wall He has to learn to survive before he learn to crawl He needs somebody who can give him a daddy hand We brought them into this world, they deserve a chance They deserve a chance, got to have a chance Why can't we all understand? Ooh! Save the baby, save him, ohh, ohh (ohh, ohh), save him The world is lost in a bout of confusion (the world is lost, mm) Happiness, happiness, happiness is just an illusion (stop, stop) Somewhere it must end even if we have to start Stop and start again, we're defendin' a man's sin Oh, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on? I can remember another friend of mine tellin' me (what's going on?) Change gon' come, oh, yes it will Save the children, ooh And we might save the world Every mother's wish (wish) For her boy and girl, oh (We gotta save, save, save the children) try to save the children (Save, save the children) it's all on me and you (Save, save the children) if you wanna save the children (We gotta save the children) we gotta save the children, ooh (Save, save the children) save what? Say it again (Save, save the children) we have to save what? (Save, save the children) who gotta save the children? (We gotta save the children) ooh Listen, headed in the wrong direction No love, no love, no love, no love, no love, no love and affection Like a heart-striking pain, tryin' to figure it out No 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 light I'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 life Save, save 'em, save the babies It's all on me and you (save, save the children) We gotta save the babies (save, save the children) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (save, save the children) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (we gotta save the children) (Save, save the children) we, we, we, we, we gotta save, we gotta save, the children Save 'em, save 'em, save 'em, save 'em, save 'em, baby Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down We're just slowly movin' to slow down Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop (I will thank my heart) I will thank my heart, thank my heart (we've got to stop) Will thank my heart the last |
