God Bless The Children Lyrics - The Staple Singers

god bless the children 

caus they cant' stop what men do 

and that's why lord i call on you 

they dont even know how to sin 

these are troubled times we're livin in 

when things fall 

children cry 

yes lord some will die 

lord lord lord lord lord 

god bless the children 

god bless the children 

teach us how to love 

like never before 

and may we never steady war no more 

talk to the hearts of the men who lead us 

and make them understand it's the children who need us 

ohhhh yes i know 

it's not right 

if men must fight 

lord lord lord lord lord 

god bless the children 

so many times i've heard this phrase 

that trouble it won't last always 

i'm not saying this phrase is wrong 

but i'm wondering why it has to last so long 

i see a newborn baby 

in a proud mothers arms 

then to think of all the countires that now have them 

lord lord lord lord lord
