[Verse 1]
A child's too young, they say
To realise the problems today
But they're surely not, oh no, now (Oh)
Kids can understand
Love is needed in our land
Quite a lot (Oh yeah yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ow, they understand the things they do
Oh, the things taught them by you
And what they've heard you say, oh yeah now
[Chorus]
So look a little deeper in their eyes
Don't judge them by their size
Teach them to pray
I said teach them to pray
Let's blow for the children, now
[Post-Chorus]
(Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Dee ba doo da ba da
Bе-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Dee ba doo da da)
[Verse 2]
Oh, no more trick or treat
'Cause thе candy's not fit to eat
[?] Oh, well, well, well
The little girl's mother next door
Won't let her walk to the store
'Cause she's afraid, yes she is now, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, it's cool like it, I learned [?]
'Cause no one seems concerned
The teachers are underpaid, hey, y'all, look-a here
[Chorus]
Look a little deeper in their eyes
Stop judging them by their size
Teach them to pray
I said teach them to pray
Let's blow for the children, now
[Post-Chorus]
(Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Dee ba doo da ba da
Be-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Dee ba doo da da)
[Pre-Chorus]
(This woman day I've learned [?]
No one seems concerned
Teachers and underpaid)
[Chorus]
Look a little deeper in their eyes
Stop judging them by their size
Teach them to pray
Teach them to pray)
[Outro]
(Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Dee ba doo da ba da
Be-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Dee ba doo da da)
(This woman day I've learned [?]
No one seems concerned)
