Children
See, I know times are hard
Yeah, I mean it from the heart
You're not losing the fight
Love will make it alright
'Cause I've been there, done that
Worn that dress, so you know mama knows it best, hey
Not tryna patronize a little bit
Baby, I empathize I must admit
(But I) need you to recognize that ain't it
See a change starts today, better wipe those tears away
Some people criticize the way you live
But don't you apologize, or dare submit
Baby, the children's where the future is
See a change starts today, better wipe those tears away
See, I know times are hard (I know it, baby)
I mean it from the heart
You're not losing the fight
Love will make it alright
'Cause I've been there, done that
Worn that dress, so you know mama knows it best
Gotta let these children know what time it is
Gotta let these children know what time it is
Gotta let these children know what time it is
'Cause I've been there done that, worn that dress
So you know mama knows it best
(I) lived a whole lotta life (I ain't new to this)
Lotta lows, lotta highs (I stay true to this)
Take my hand, join the ride
You know you'll have it figured out in time, yeah
See, I know times are hard (I know it, baby)
I mean it from the heart
You're not losing the fight
Love will make it alright
'Cause I've been there, done that
Worn that dress, so you know mama knows it best
Gotta let these children know what time it is
Gotta let these children know what time it is
Gotta let these children know what time it is
