"Save The Children"

I just wanna ask a question

Who really cares?

To save a world in despair

Who really cares?

There'll come a time (there'll come a time)

When the world won't be singing (when the world won't be singing)

Flowers won't grow (flowers won't grow, no)

Bells won't be ringing (the bells won't be ringing)

Who really cares? (Who really cares?)

Who's willing to try? (Who is willing to try?)

To save the world, (to save the world)

That's destined to die (that is destined to die)

When I look at the world (when I look at the world)

It fills me with sorrow (it fills me with sorrow)

Little children today (children today)

Are really going to suffer tomorrow (really suffer tomorrow)

(Oh) what a shame (what a shame)

Such a bad way to live (such a bad way to live)

Oh, who is to blame? (Who is to blame?)

We can't stop living (when we can't stop living)

Live (live)

(Live for life) live for life

(But let live everybody)

Live life for the children (live life for the children)

(Oh, for the children)

You see, let's, let's save the children (ho, ho-ho, hoo)

Let's, let's save all the children (save the babies)

(Save the babies)

(And if you want to love, you got to save the babies)

(Oh you've got the feeling, you've got the feeling)

(You will save the babies, all of the children)

But who really cares?

Who's willing to try

Yes, to save a world

Yeah, save our sweet world

To save the world

That is destined to die

Oh, ah oh

La, la-la-la, la-la-la

Oh oh, oh-oh-oh, dig it everybody
