Save The Children Lyrics - Bobby Womack

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 and we might save the world 

It's 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 learns 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?

Save the baby, save him, ohh ohh, save him 

The world is lost in a bout of confusion 

Happiness, happiness, happiness is just an illusion 

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? 

I can remember another friend of mine tellin' me 

Change gonna come, oh, yes it will 

Save the children and we might save the world 

Every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh 

Save, save the children, save, save the children 

Save, save the children, we gotta save the children 

Save, save the children, save, save the children 

Save, save the children, we gotta save the children 

Listen, headed in the wrong direction 

No love, no love, no love, no love, no love, no love and affection 

Like a [Incomprehensible] pain we tryin' to figure it out 

Photos 

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 the children, save, save the children 

Save, save the children, save, save the children 

We gotta save the children, save, save the children 

Save, save the children 

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop 

We've got to stop
