[Intro]
Save them, the children
The children, the children save them
We're gonna need them, mmmmm
To help us with our plan
[Chorus]
Save the little children, the young ones
Save them from what we've been through
All this fussing and fighting
We don't want them, don't want them
Don't want them to do that too, oh no-oh
[Verse 1]
We are the ones to teach them what's right from wrong
Teach the youths the truth, oh yes
Let them know just what to do
They follow our footsteps every day
They often do what we do
And say what we say
[Chorus]
So save the little children, the young ones
Save them from what we've been through, we've been through
All this killing, this killing
This killing one another
We don't want them, don't want them
Don't want them to do that too
Save them, save them
[Post Chorus]
The little big ones, the little children
Save them
[Verse 2]
Destruction on this land, caused by many elders hands
The youths they watch and see and they're learning fast
So I say, woah-oh-woah
[Chorus x4]
Save the little children, the young ones, save them
Save them from what we've been through, we've been through
All this killing one another, hey
We don't want them, don't want them
Don't want them to do that too
So save them, save them, teach them right
Save the little children, the younger ones, oh yes
Save them from what we've been through
We've been through so much fighting, so much killing one another
We gotta stop now, take a look
We've gotta save the children, only for the children, let me say
Save them, save them, save them
Save them the young-young ones, mmmmm
Save them from what, from what we've been through
Oh well, well
Many things has been said about the youths
But take a stand and look
Everything they know, they just learn it from you
And
Save the little children, the younger ones
Save them from what we've been through
All this fussing and fighting, fighting one another yes
We don't want them, don't want them
Don't want them to do that too
[Outro]
All through this world in the future
In the future say
Save the little children, the young ones
Young ones
Save them from what..
