Let The Children Live Lyrics

Somewhere in the world today a child

Is standing all alone

Looking for a home

A victim like so many others

Of the grown-up way

When they just want to play

While the leaders of the land

Send their fathers off to war

Do the children know they may not

See them anymore?

Let the children live

Let the children live

Every boy and every girl

No matter where around the world

We've got to give them

A chance to live.

When two opinions have a quarrel

Why is the way we choose

Where the children always lose?

Turning playgrounds into battlefields

Tear their neighbourhood apart

Do we have a heart?

And when the fighting's over

Leaving scars that never heal

Can we find the cure for all

The suffering they feel?

Let the children live

Let the children live

Every boy and every girl

No matter where around the world

We've got to give them

A chance to live

For every child of war

Growing up with hate

Show them a ray of hope

Before it gets too late

Let the children live

Let the children live

Every boy and every girl

No matter where around the world

We've got to give them

A chance to live

Let the children live

Let the children live

Every boy and every girl

No matter where around the world,

We've got to give them

A chance to live

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Let the children live
