Brown Baby / Save the Children Lyrics

Brown baby
Brown baby
As you grow up
I want you to drink from the plenty cup

I want you to stand up
Tall and proud
I want you to speak up
Speak up clear and cloud

Brown baby
Brown baby
As years roll by
I want you to walk

Walk with your head held high
I want you to live by
Live by the justice code
I want you to walk down

Walk down that freedom road
Brown baby
Lie away
Lie away sleeping

Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away here in my arms

While your mommy and your daddy protect you
While your mommy and your daddy protect you
And keep you save from harm

Brown baby
Brown baby
My baby, it makes me so glad
That you will have things

I have never had
When out of men's hearts
All the hate is hurled
You're gonna live
You're gonna live in a better world

Brown baby
My brown baby
My sweet thing
Lie away

Lie away sleeping
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away in mommy's arms

I just want to ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world
A world in despair

Who cares?
There'll come a time, when the world won't be singing
And flowers won't grow, no, bells won't be ringin'
But who cares?
Who really cares?

Who's willing to try to save the world
That is destined to die
When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow
Little children today really suffer tomorrow

Oh what a shame, what a sad way to live
All who is to blame, when we can't stop livin'
You gotta live, live for life
But let live everybody

Live life for the children
Oh, for the children
You see, we have to save the babies
Save the babies

Save the babies, save the babies
If you wanna love, save the babies
All the children all over the world
