This One's For The Children Lyrics
New Kids On The Block
Lyrics
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
