Oh where you going
Where do you pass
Where there is war (his children)
Where there is famine (his children)
Where there are children the world laughs at
Where there are people the children come first
If I'm going to be a child I want mom to smile at me
If I'm going to be a child I want mom to smile at me
Somalia Ethiopia
Sarajevo Asia Brazil Alleluia
So I say to you French people French people we are for the children
So I say to you Mali Mali we are for the children
Oh the children they are innocent let's give them our support (oh the children the)
Oh the children they are innocent let's give them our support (oh the children the)

If I'm going to be a child I want mom to smile at me
Seee where you're going
If I'm going to be a child I want mom to smile at me
