Give the Kid a Break

Little boy lost in games of make believe Making up names and friends who play for free Too many people in the real world Telling him to be seen but never heard He's having a tough time keepin' up at school It's tough enough just rememberin' all the rules He's learning the first few facts of livin' Little mistakes stay unforgiven Trouble comes when you don't know what you've done Why don't you give? (give a little bit) Give the kid a break Little girl lost in dreams and magazines Everyone laughs, they call her, "Movie Queen" Nobody shows no understanding Nobody shows her dreams that can be Made to come true, she's stuck with making do Why don't you give? (give a little bit) Give the kid a break All the hard (all the hard, hard times) The hard times can wait Why don't you give? Give a little bit For the future's sake (give the kid) Give the kid a break Too many kids are wondering, "What's the use?" Every time they ask, they get abused Too many questions go unanswered Too many kids are taking chances Trying to find one good reason why Why don't you give?
