Give a Child a Childhood
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
There's a child lying in the park
Hardly two days old
Crying for his mother's heart
Or is he feeling cold?
They saw a woman late last night
Hiding by the garbage cans
Her shadow loomed as she lay aside
The bundle from her hands
There's a girl standing in the street
Hardly ten years old
Knowing eyes, dirty feet
Soul as black as coal
Her master sent her hunting
Down by the railway station
For a customer who's looking
For a moment's salvation
Hallelujah
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
There's a young man in the night
Thirteen years of age
He just won his big fight
Sheer guts and his rage
Now he's the leader of the pack
Feared by one and all
A homemade knife in the back
And he killed a man twice as tall
Hail the New Don
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
Give the night a star
Give the night a star
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
There's a child lying in the park
Hardly two days old
Crying for his mother's heart
Or is he feeling cold?
They saw a woman late last night
Hiding by the garbage cans
Her shadow loomed as she lay aside
The bundle from her hands
There's a girl standing in the street
Hardly ten years old
Knowing eyes, dirty feet
Soul as black as coal
Her master sent her hunting
Down by the railway station
For a customer who's looking
For a moment's salvation
Hallelujah
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
There's a young man in the night
Thirteen years of age
He just won his big fight
Sheer guts and his rage
Now he's the leader of the pack
Feared by one and all
A homemade knife in the back
And he killed a man twice as tall
Hail the New Don
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
Give a child a childhood
Give a tear a smile
Give a toy an owner
At least for a little while
Give a song a singer
Let the melody linger
Give a child a childhood
Give the night a star
Give the night a star
Give the night a star
