...SAVE THE CHILDREN... by Marvin Gaye -----------------------............... *from 'What's Going On' (1971)* Intro: I just want to ask a question; who really cares? To save a world in de-spair? Who really cares? Verse 1: There'll come a time, when the world won't be singin', Flowers won't grow; bells won't be ringin'. Who really cares? Who's willing to try, To save a world, that's destined to die? Verse 2: When I look at the world, it fills me with sorrow, Little children today, are really gonna suffer tomorrow. Oh, what a shame, such a bad way to live; All who is to blame; we can't stop livin'. Chorus 1: Live, live for life, but let live, everybody, Live life for the children, oh, for the children. You see, let's save the children, let's save all the children. Save the babies,save the babies. If you wanna love, you got to save the babies, You will save the babies; all of the children. Bridge 1: But...who really cares? Who's willing to try? Yes, to save a world, yeah, save our sweet world. Save a world, that is destined to die. Coda: Oh...oh.. la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Oh...oh, dig it everybody.
