"Help The Children"

Help 'em
Help our children
Help 'em
Help our children

(CHORUS)
WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
Our generation is trying
Oh how we're dying

WIll you let them be
Will you help our children live to see
A better day is coming
To keep our lives going

Right is here and then it's gone
And what seems right can be oh so wrong
Let's protest and not molest
Our young girls
And help them live to see this world
Clearly
As it is
And pray for the mother with kids
Who's lost control, but not her soul
Many kids will die before they're
20-years-old

(CHORUS)

Papas, where have you gone
I see mama by the telephone
Waiting, but you don't call
Tears on the fears
And I see them fall
It hurts, but we'll go on
You're just another brother who's left his home
And family
Yeah we cry
Mama said she loved you
And I don't even know why

(CHORUS)

Money and death
The line the truth
A dime bag of crack
The end of you
Black and white
A constant fight
Years and years
And day and night
Or was it right
I've got to stand
To make a better way
For a young black man
And a land
Where the people smile
You've been holding me back
For such a long while

(CHORUS)

Children
Don't be fooled
And learn about the way
The men once ruled this country
Where we live
And read about the 60s
And what they did
So that we
Won't forget
And love one another
And give respect
When I see
A man who's old
A woman who's great
Touches my soul
Cause I know
They paved the way
So we can be here
And live this way
There was a time
Not long ago
When in front of the bus to the back I had to go
It appears
That things have changed
Maybe it's a different method but it's still the same game

(CHORUS)
