Cry for all the innocent ones

Born into a world that's lost its heart

For those who never learn to dream

Because their hope is crushed before it can start

And we shake our fists at the air

And say "If God is love, how can this be fair?"



But we are his hands, we are his voice

We are the ones who must make the choice

And if it isn't now, tell me when?

If it isn't you, then tell me who

Will save the children?

Who will save the children?



We count our blessings one by one

Yet we have forgotten how to give

It seems that we don't want to face

All the hungry and homeless who struggle to live

But heaven is watching tonight

Tugging at our hearts to do what's right



And we are his hands, we are his voice

We are the ones who must make the choice

And if it isn't now, tell me when?

If it isn't you, then tell me who

Will save the children?

Who will save the children?



As we observe then through our T.V. screens

They seem so distant and unreal

But they bleed like we bleed

And they feel what we feel



Oh, save the children

Save the children

Save the children



Now we decide that nothing can change

And throw up our hands in numb despair

And we lose a piece of our souls

By teaching ourselves just how not to care

But Christ would have gone to the cross

Just to save one child from being lost



And we are his hands, we are his voice

We are the ones who must make the choice

And it must be now

There's no time to waste

it must be you

No one can take your place

Can't you see that only we

Can save the children

Save the children

Save the children

Please, save the children

Will save the children?

Who will save the children?
