This is a very serious message, so all of you please listen      There are some people   Living in this world   They have no food to eat   They have no place to go      But we all are God's children   We have to learn to love one another   Just remember, they could be us   Remember, we all are brothers      I'm not tryin' 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, hoo      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're are tomorrow   And people, they've got to know      I'm not tryin' 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      This one's for the children   The children of the world   This one's for the children   May God keep them in His throne      This one's for the children   This one's for the children   This one's for the children   This one's for the children      This one's for the children   This one's for the children   This one's for the children   This one's for the children
