The Ones You Love

Children cry on the street

They don't have enough to eat

Mothers wait for days to end

A hopeless situation they can't mend

Is it good for you?

Is it good for me?

I don't know how the world can sleep

It's just not right to close the door turn out the light

They'd better be the ones you love

The children ought to get some love

If no-one else should get enough

They'd better be the ones you love

Daddy waits there in line

A little work he hopes to find

Something wrong with times like these

It's enough to bring a man down to his knees

Is it good for you?

Is it good for me?

I don't know how the world can sleep

It's just not right to close the door turn out the light

They'd better be the ones you love

The children ought to get some love

If no-one else should get enough

They'd better be the ones you love

Thinking of the children

You better be think about the children

Better be, you better be

Better be the ones you love

Better be, you better be

Better be the ones you love

Yeah yeah yeah

They'd better be the ones you love

The children ought to get some love

If no-one else should get enough

They'd better be the ones you love
