Blessed Are The Children

Lawrence Watson and Sidney Punter 

​

Verse 1-Lead (Ensemble)

Put on this earth with potential to achieve,

unprotected little ones look to us to supply their needs.

Like a plant needs water in order to grow,

We must nurture a child to succeed.

 

Let's protect the children.

 

They did not ask to be homeless living on the street.

Little babies hungry because of politics and greed.

If we want every child to have a chance,

we should each lend a helping hand.

Blessed are the children  (Children of the world)

 

Ensemble

Every child deserves to live a life that's free.

Let's create a world of peace and harmony.

Each of us must fight the powers we believe

destroy young people’s hopes and dreams.

We got to rid the world of child abuse.

Protect the children that we produced.

What's the use of having laws that talk of rights,

when everywhere you see a guns and knives.

Stop the violence and demand a world of peace.

Time is running out so practice what you preach.

In the final days he said a child would lead.

Whosoever receive a child  receiveth me.

 

Blessed are the children of the world.

Blessed are the children of the world.

 

Lead

Like a plant needs water in order to grow,

We must nurture a child to succeed.

Blessed are the children.
