Save the Children Bobby Womack

Save the children and we might save the world
It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh

A child was born inside this city yesterday
His mother held him to her breast as she began to pray
Please let them grow up to be strong and know the truth

And have the chances to taste the innocence of youth
The innocence of youth, the innocence of youth
You know what we have to do

Save the children and we might save the world
It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh

A baby starts out with his back against the wall
He has to learn to survive before he learns to crawl
He needs somebody who can give him a daddy hand

We brought them into this world, they deserve a chance
They deserve a chance, got to have a chance
Why can't we all understand?

Save the baby, save him, ohh ohh, save him

The world is lost in a bout of confusion
Happiness, happiness, happiness is just an illusion
Somewhere it must end even if we have to start
Stop and start again, we're defendin' a man's sin
