Let the Children Live

They play in the backyard
Where the sun never shines
Lying on the grass now
Will be charged like a crime

In this part of the world
Children's souls gonna die
Children get older
Make the whole world gonna cry

Ooh
Let the children live
Yeah
Let the children live

Some live in a castle
And some live in a den
Some live in nowhere
Try to fight, try to live again

This is a mean old world
Make the souls gonna die
Children get older
Make the whole world gonna cry

(Let the children live) Mmm
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Yeah
(Let the children live) Let the children live

This is a part of the world
Children's souls gonna die
Children get older
Make the whole world gonna cry

(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Yeah

(Let the children live) Yeah
(Let the children live) Let the children live

(Let the children live) Let the children live, now
(Let the children live) Let them
Let them, let them, let them, let them
(Let the children live) Let them live
(Let the children live) I said let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live

(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let the children live
(Let the children live) Let them live
(Let the children live) Oh yeah
