Lyrics Think About the Children - Lucky Dube

The parents are the people we're depending on
For the growth of the children
If they treat them right
We gonna have a brighter future
If they treat them wrong
We gonna have brats in the world

If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is right?
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is wrong?

If you divorce your wife
Just think about the children
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is right?

Without the mother (without the mother)
Children are suffering (children are suffering)
Without the father (without the father)
We are going to suffer (children are suffering)
Without the parents we're just (without the parents)

Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer
Born to suffer, born to suffer

You've got to watch out, my son
If your mother doesn't care for you
You've got to watch out, my girl
If your mother doesn't care for you

Kwashiorkor is there
It's gonna attack you
They need parental care
They need spiritual care

If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is right?
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is wrong? No, no, no

They need parental care
They need spiritual care
If they grow up without the parents
Who's gonna tell them this is wrong?

Without the mother (without the mother)
Children are suffering (children are suffering)
Without the father (without the father)
We are going to suffer (children are suffering)
Without the parents, we're just (without the parents)
Ah, just kids
