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?
