Have you seen the children that cry and wonder why they cry  

Do you hear when they cry who will save our lives  

Do you hear when they cry aloud, “What will be our future”  

  

Why oh why our children have to starve?

Why oh why our children have to cry? It’s all because we never, never try    

Think about the children that walk all along the streets. La la la la la la la la la la la  

They have no mom, some have no dad to help them grow in love. La la la la la la la la la la la  la  Stretch your hand and save a child. The children are our future  

Why oh why our children have to starve?

Why oh why our children have to cry? It’s all because we never, never try    

They never asked to be born. They don’t deserve so much pain  

So open your hearts, open your minds. Any child could be your child.

Love us. Care for us. Feed us. Teach us to build up the world.  

Cause we are the world.  To build up the world. Cause we are the world    

Why oh why our children have to starve?

Why oh why our children have to cry? It’s all because we never, never try  

  

Why oh why our children have to starve?

Why oh why our children have to cry? It’s all because we never, never try  

Why (oh why oh) oh why (oh why oh) our children have to starve  

Oh why (oh why oh) oh why (oh why oh) our children have to cry  

It’s all (oh why oh) because (oh why oh) we never never try  

Oh why oh why oh why oh why our children have to starve

Oh why oh, oh why oh, oh why oh
