God Bless The Children - The Staple Singers

God bless the children

Caus they can’t' stop what men do

And that’s why lord i call on you

They dont even know how to sin

These are troubled times we’re livin in

When things fall

Children cry

Yes lord some will die

Lord lord lord lord lord

God bless the children

God bless the children

Teach us how to love

Like never before

And may we never steady war no more

Talk to the hearts of the men who lead us

And make them understand it’s the children who need us

Ohhhh yes i know

It’s not right

If men must fight

Lord lord lord lord lord

God bless the children

So many times i’ve heard this phrase

That trouble it won’t last always

I’m not saying this phrase is wrong

But i’m wondering why it has to last so long

I see a newborn baby

In a proud mothers arms

Then to think of all the countires that now have them

Lord lord lord lord lord
