Can'tcha Hear The Children Calling

Can't you hear?

Can't you hear the children calling?

This world is slowly falling

All around, 'round the world

Little boys and girls

Stop and take a real good listen

There's already too many missing

Little boys and girls

All around the world

Might happen in your own backyard

If you don't wake up it could get you so hard

(Think about it)

Oh, you better think about it

(Think about it)

So let's try to turn it around (turn it around)

If we can't turn it around

If we can't

Maybe we could slow it down

Let's try to slow it down

Can't you hear the children calling?

This world is slowly falling

All around the world (all around the world)

Little boys and girls (all around the world)

Stop, take a real good listen (stop and take a real good listen)

There's already too many missing

All around the world (all around the world)

Little boys and girls (all around the world)

Don't be blinded to the truth

Walkin' around in a trance

If we all fall apart

The kids don't stand a chance

Oh, oh we need to think about it

(Think about it)

Let's try to turn it around

Ooh, let's try to turn it around

If we can't

Maybe we could slow it down

Let's try to slow it down

If we can't turn it around

Let's try to turn it around

If we can't

Maybe we could slow it down

Let's try to slow it down

(Let's find a way)

(Let's find a way)

(Let's find a way)

Think of the price we're paying

Generations afraid of playing

Playing in the sun (in the sun)

Taught to trust no one

No one, no one, no one (trust no one, no one)

And every time they meet, meet a stranger

All they see or feel is danger

The harm is done

Too much damage is done

Can't you hear the children calling?

This world is slowly falling

All around the world (all around the world)

Too many boys and girls (all around the world)

Stop, stop and take a real good listen

There's already too many missing

All around the world (all around the world)

Too many boys and girls (all around the world)

Can't you hear, children (can't you hear the children calling?)

Don't you hear 'em calling?

Their world is falling

(All around the world)

All around the world

(All around the world)

You better stop

(Stop and take a real good listen)

Stop and take a real good listen

There's already too many missing
