Help The Children |
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!!! |
