Gil Scott-Heron - Save the children - remastered - 1988 lyrics

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
