Save the Children Songtext
von Gil Scott‐Heron

Come on brother now, right here

I got you right here

And if you′re driving through the country on a lazy afternoon
Or you're watching your children playing after school
They seem to be so unaware of, I know
The things that they′ll soon have to take care of, see

We've got to do something, yeah, to save the children
Yeah 'cause soon it′s going to be their turns to try and save the world
Right now, they seem to play such a small part of, I know
The things that they′ll soon be right at the heart of, say, say, say

Alright, let's start right here

Again if you could please for Miss Kimberley Jordan on the keyboards

Say, say, say we′ve got to do something to save the children
We've got to do something, yeah, to save the children
Stay right there, aw
Just can′t keep doing nothing, can't keep doing nothing
We′ve got to try, got to try and do something


Try and do something, try and do something
Try and do something, try and do something
Try and do something, try and do something
Try and do something, try and do something

Try and do something, try and do something
Try and do one thing, try and do something
Try and do one thing, try and do something
Try and do something, try and do something

Try and do just one thing, just one thing
Just one thing, just one thing, just one thing
Everybody, everybody do just one thing
Everybody does just one thing

Everybody does, everybody does
Everybody does, hey just one thing
Just one thing, just one thing
To save the children

Just one thing, just one thing
To save the children
Everybody does just one thing
To save the children, save
To save the children
