STREET CHILDREN!

To all the World Leaders
I bring my song today
Search for some compassion
And try to find a way
To help the little ones
Who live on the street
Filthy and hungry, no shoes on their feet
For they are innocent
Did not commit a crime
But are sentenced to live on the Street for all time
Now help them all please I am begging you
Give them a chance so they may start anew


Street children, out there lonely and confused
Street children, often battered and abused
Street children, each day I pray
That God will be beside you to guide you on your way
Street children, I shed a tear for you
Street children, I sing my song for you
Street children, its so sad
Because you are the victims of society gone mad

They turn to lives of crime
They see no other way
They steal just to survive
To see another day
Some even using drugs
Just to ease the pain
Addicted to glue and snorting cocaine
But dont condemn them now
And please dont walk away
But ask what you would do if you were them today
And next time you see a Street Child walk by
Say There but for the Grace of God go I

The United Nations
Say children all have rights
But in reality
We know we have to fight
So my words are my swords and my voice my gun
And I wont give up til the war is won
Give them proper shelter
Give them education
Feed their bodies and souls
So that evry nation
Can be proud to see that their children can be
Anything in this world they want to be


Its not just Trinbago
Not just the West Indies
But a Worldwide problem
Spreading like a disease
Each day the numbers grow
I know this is fact
Of all the children forced to live like rats
Where are the Governments?
The ones supposed to care?
Where are the plans to save children who live out there?
Hang your heads in shame
All politicians
Sipping champagne, while these little ones you shun!

Street children, out there lonely and confused
Street children, often battered and abused
Street children, each day I pray
That God will be beside you to guide you on your way
Street children, I sing my song for you
But Im just a little boy so what else can I do?
Street children, its so sad
Because you are the victims of society gone mad
