The Staple Singers - God Bless The Children Lyrics

The Staple Singers Lyrics

"God Bless The Children"

God bless the children
Caus they can't stop what men do
And that's why lord I call on you
They don't 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
Oh 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 countries that now have them
Lord lord lord lord lord
