Cry for all the
innocent ones
born into a world
that's lost its heart
For
those who never
learn to dream
because their hope is crushed
before they can start
And we shake our fists
at the air
and say, "If God is love,
how can this be fair?"
But we are His hands
We are His voice
We are
the ones who must
make the choice
And if it isn't now,
tell
me when?
If it isn't you, then tell me
who will save the
children?
Who will save the children?
We count our blessings one by one
yet we have
forgotten how to give
It seems that we don't want to face
all
the hungry and homeless
who struggle to live
But heaven is
watching tonight
tugging at our hearts
to do what's right
And we are His hands
We are His voice
We are
the ones who must
make the choice
And if it isn't you, then
tell me
who will save the children?
Who will save the
children?
As we observe them through our T.V. screens
they
seem so distant and unreal
But they bleed like we bleed
And
they feel what we feel
Oh, save the children
Save the
children
Save the children
Now we decide that nothing can change
and throw
up our hands in numb despair
And we lost a piece of our souls
by
teaching ourselves just
how not to care
But Christ would have
gone to the cross
just to save one child from being lost
And we are His hands
We are His voice
We are
the ones who must
make the choice
And it must be now
There's
no time to waste
It must be you
No one can take your place
Can't you see that only we
Can save the children
Save the
children
Save the children
Please, save the children
