Let's Do It for the Children

He's cold and he's hungry
He's just sitting all alone
In a land that's far away from here
He's reaching out across the sea
With hurt filled eyes he's asking please
I'm hungry, could you send me food to eat

There's a little girl with tear filled eyes
Sores on her feet, she starts to cry
Why is the world she lives in cruel and mean
But with kindness we could change it all
Reach out your hand so they won't fall
Let's do it for the children who're in need

Let's do it for the children
Because it's not so hard to see
Their future rests in the hands
Of folks like you and me
Let's do it for the children
Let's show em' that we care
We shouldn't turn our backs
As if they're just not there

The paper read "A Death Today
A child found in an alleyway
A child of ten who never had a chance
These children could all go somewhere
If mankind would learn to care
And turn around and give em' a second glance

Let's do it for the children
Because it's not so hard to see
Their future rests in the hands
Of folks like you and me
Let's do it for the children
Let's show em' that we care
We shouldn't turn our backs
As if they're just not there

Let's do it for the children
Let's show em' that we care
We shouldn't turn our backs
As if they're just not there
We shouldn't turn our backs
As if they're just not there
