The Staple Singers - God Bless The Children lyrics

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
