THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD ARE GETTING FED UP
CAUSE IT'S TIME FOR THE GROWN-UPS OF THE WORLD TO ALL GROW UP
WE'RE TAKIN' THIS CHANCE HERE TO TRY AND MAKE OUR STAND
CAUSE WE'RE SURE THAT THE WORLD WILL BE MUCH SAFER IN OUR HANDS
WE'RE CALLING FOR SOME LOVE, A LITTLE PEACE & UNDERSTANDING

& BRING A LITTLE HOPE TO ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD

Lyrics
CHILDREN OF THE WORLD
CHORUS
WE'RE TOMORROW'S PEOPLE, WE'RE THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD
WE'RE FOLLOWING ON FROM YOU, WE'RE TRYING TO BE HEARD
PLEASE GIVE US OUR FUTURE, NOT WHAT WILL BE WILL BE
SAVE FOR US ALL, OUR WORLDWIDE LEGACY
THE TIME WILL COME & WE WILL WANT OUR PART OF THE MASTERS PLAN
EVERYONE LIVING IN HARMONY, WITH THEIR FELLOW MAN
A WONDERFUL ACCEPTANCE OF EVERY COLOUR, RACE, AND CREED
END POVERTY AND OPPRESSION, ENJOY FREEDOM AND PEACE
REPEAT CHORUS
LISTEN TO OUR VOICES, PLEASE LISTEN TO OUR HEARTS
WE FEEL RESPONSIBILITY, WE WANT TO PLAY OUR PART
WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE PAST, AND HOW WE GOT TO HERE
BUT WHAT DOES TOMORROW HOLD, WHAT IS OUR DESTINY
RAP OVER CHORUS:
THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD ARE GETTING FED UP
CAUSE IT'S TIME FOR THE GROWN-UPS OF THE WORLD TO ALL GROW UP
WE'RE TAKIN' THIS CHANCE HERE TO TRY AND MAKE OUR STAND
CAUSE WE'RE SURE THAT THE WORLD WILL BE MUCH SAFER IN OUR HANDS
WE'RE CALLING FOR SOME LOVE, A LITTLE PEACE & UNDERSTANDING
& SHARED FRIENDSHIP WITH OUR FRIENDS
TELL ME IS THAT TOO DEMANDING
WE WANNA STOP THE WARS, LET THE FLAG OF PEACE UNFURL
& BRING A LITTLE HOPE TO ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD
