Lyrics Gil Scott-Heron

Gil Scott-Heron

Save the Children

If you're driving through the country on a lazy afternoon

Or you're watching your children playing after school

They seem to be so unaware of

The things that they soon have to take care of

We've got to do something to save the children

Soon it will be their turn to try and save the world

Right now they seem to play such a small part of

The things that they soon be right at the heart of

My little Tommy he said he wants to be a fireman

And little Mary she said she got to teach school

If we know all we say we know about the problems

Why can't we do something to try and solve them

We've got to do something to save the children

Soon it will be their turn to try and save the world

We got to do something to save the children

To save the children

To save the children
