If You Re A Child
Album: SONGS & BALLADS 2
Text
People always seem to feel
Life is so unfair
They feel like they’ve been cheated
And that no one really cares
They’ll tell you that the job they do
Won’t live up to their needs
They’ll talk about a love gone wrong
How it fell apart at the seams
While you lay sleeping soundly
Without a worry in the world
There’s a child sleepless somewhere
With no place left to go
Tell me where he’ll lay his head
When he needs to rest
Will anybody answer
To a child in distress
While you’re out working for your pay
They wonder what they’ll eat today
It’s a lonely place for one to be
If your a child living on the street
You may not want to hear it
You can look but never see
By the time you’d be forgiven
You’ll wanna fall down on your knees
And realize what you’ve done wrong
And try to make it right
You can bet that when the sun goes down
You’ll have many sleepless nights
While you’re out working for your pay
They wonder what they’ll eat today
It’s a lonely place for one to be
If your a child living on the street
Before you judge the life you lead
Be true to what you really need
There are those who haven’t got a thing
They’re the real life victims of the street
