Children

Searching through the rubbish for a bottle top,

There’s pain in this world we have to stop,

There’s children dying in the city streets,

Whilst we sit here with too much to eat!

I know that I’ve been a victim of,

A world where we all sought love,

But I’ve got the power to make that change.

No matter what I have to do,

Even if I have to start out new,

I have to try we have to ease their pain.

It all starts with the man inside,

The one who has to conquer pride,

We have a chance to make a better place,

But in the mirror we have to face,

What we’ve got,

Would we give up,

To help that boy or girl.

Is it there within us,

To act on our love,

We could change the world.

The children swallowed by war,

No idea what they’re fighting for,

All they want is a roof for the night,

Somewhere safe to escape the fight.

I’ve got a chance to stop the pain,

Now matter how we’ve got to change,

Tell me what will happen to them?

We have a duty to all their souls,

To help their fight to give our all,

For the chance for them to live again! 

It all starts with the man inside,

The one who has to conquer pride,

We have a chance to make a better place,

But in the mirror we have to face,

What we’ve got,

Would we give up,

To help that boy or girl.

Is it there within us,

To act on our love,

We could change the world.

When I go to sleep in my bed at night,

I think of the children and their fight,

Just to live as if they were one of us,

To remember the power of love!

It all starts with the man inside,

The one who has to conquer his pride,

We have a chance to make a better place,

But in the mirror we have to face,

What we’ve got,

Would we give up,

To help that boy or girl.

Is it there within us,

To act on our love,

We could change the world.
