Save The Children Lyrics - Pieces Of A Man - Gil Scott-heron

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
