Save The Children
Marvin Gaye · The Master - Earbooks (Spec) [2006]
Who really cares?
To save a world in despair
Who really cares?
There'll come a time
When the world won't be singin'
Flowers won't grow
Bells won't be ringin'
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try
To save the world
That's destined to die
When I look at the world
It fills me with sorrow
Little children today
Are really gonna suffer tomorrow
Oh what a shame
Such a bad way to live
All who is to blame
We can't stop livin'
Live, live for life
But let live everybody
Live life for the children
Oh, for the children
You see, let's, let's save the children
Let's, let's save all the children
Save the babies
Save the babies
And if you wanna love
You got love to save the babies
You will save the babies
All of the children
But who really cares?
Who's willing to try
Yes, to save a world
Yeah, save our sweet world
Save the world
That is destined to die
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh dig it everybody
