This One's for the Children

This is a very serious message

So all of you please listen

There are some people living in this world

They have no food to eat

They have no place to go

But we all are God's children

We have to learn to love one another

Just remember, they could be us

Remember, we all are brothers

I'm not tryin' to darken up your day

But help others in need

And show them there's a better way

This one's for the children

The children of the world

This one's for the children

May God keep them in His throne

Many people are happy

And many people are sad

Some people have many things

That others can only wish they had

So for the sake of the children

Show them love's the only way to go

'Cause they're are tomorrow

And people, they've got to know

I'm not tryin' to darken up your day

But help others in need

And show them there's a better way

This one's for the children

The children of the world

This one's for the children

May God keep them in His throne

This one's for the children

The children of the world

This one's for the children

May God keep them in His throne

(This one's for the children) it's only for the children, children of the world

(This one's for the children) oh-oh

(This one's for the children) only for the children

(This one's for the children) children of the world

(This one's for the children) many people are happy, many people are sad

But this one's for the children

And I'm so glad

(This one's for the children) The children of the world

(This one's for the children)

(This one's for the children) many people are happy, many people are sad
