Lyrics: (This is a very serious message and we want all of you to listen for his sake) There are some people living in this world They have no food to eat They have no place to go But we are all God's children We've got to learn to love one another Just remember, they could be us Remember, we are all brothers I'm not trying to darken up your day But help others in need And show them there's a better way This one's for the children The Children of the world This one's for the children May God keep them in His throne Many people are happy And many people are sad Some people have many things That others can only wish they had So for the sake of the children Show them love's the only way to go 'cause they are tomorrow and people, they've got to know I'm not trying to darken up your day But help others in need And show them there's a better way This's one for the children The Children of the world This's one for the children May God keep them in His throne This's one for the children The Children of the world This's one for the children May God keep them in His throne May Keep them in His throne Keep them in His throne...etc., etc.
