Gil Scott-Heron - Save The Children lyrics

If you're driving through the country on a lazy afternoon Or you're watching your children playin' after school They seem to be so unaware of I know I know The things that they soon have to take care of We got to do something yeah to save the children Soon it will be their test to try and save the world Right now they seem to play such a small part of The things that they soon be right at the heart of My little Tommy he said he wants to be a fireman And little Mary she said she got to teach at school If we know or we say we know about the problems oh oh oh Why can't we do something to try and solve them We got to do something yeah to save the children Soon it will be their test to try and save the world We got to do something yeah to save the children To save the children To save the children
