Help The Children

Lyrics by M.C. Hammer

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

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) .................

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)............

A generation's dying

Will you let them be!
