Bobby Womack - Save The Children Lyrics
Save the children and we might save the world
It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh
A child was born inside this city yesterday
His mother held him to her breast as she began to pray
And have the chances to taste the innocence of youth
The innocence of youth, the innocence of youth
You know what we have to do
Save the children and we might save the world
It's every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh
A baby starts out with his back against the wall
He has to learn to survive before he learns to crawl
We brought them into this world, they deserve a chance
They deserve a chance, got to have a chance
Why can't we all understand?
Save the baby, save him, ohh ohh, save him
The world is lost in a bout of confusion
Happiness, happiness, happiness is just an illusion
Somewhere it must end even if we have to start
Stop and start again, we're defendin' a man's sin
Oh, what's going on, what's going on?
I can remember another friend of mine tellin' me
Change gonna come, oh, yes it will
Save the children and we might save the world
Every mother's wish for her boy and girl, oh
Save, save the children, save, save the children
Save, save the children, we gotta save the children
Save, save the children, save, save the children
Save, save the children, we gotta save the children
Listen, headed in the wrong direction
No love, no love, no love, no love, no love, no love and affection
Like a [?] pain we tryin' to figure it out
No young boys playin' in the park and havin' fun
They find their manhood at the barrel of a loaded gun
Can't see their future, just a tunnel with no light
I'm lost in the projects runnin' from the night
Runnin' from the night, runnin' from the night
Runnin' from the night, runnin' from the night
Scared for the rest of their life
Save, save the children, save, save the children
Save, save the children, save, save the children
We gotta save the children, save, save the children
Save, save the children
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
We've got to stop

Bobby Womack Save The Children Comments
Slick Track.
my mom is in this video
I had a very powerful spiritual experience listening to this song. It had an extremely important message for me. It was in 1989 and they were playing it on KBU Santa Monica college radio and I heard it and was changed. At that time crack cocaine was so out of hand in LA and the streets were an orgy of violence.
Give him a daddy hand
I almost forgot that Sam Cooke's brother, L.C., was a part of this too!
Bobby Womack made this hit for the 1989 album, SAVE THE CHILDREN, which was for to have children to not die unnecessary deaths and to grow throughout their lives and innocence. He lost his own son, Vincent, to a suicide due to a drug addiction. Even Marvin Gaye's brother, Frankie, sung on this song as well. R.I.P. to all three great men; which are Marvin Gaye, Frankie Gaye, and Bobby Womack.
GOD bless, and rest in peace Bobby.

Has this legend ever done a poor song?
Hit after hit and Rhodes hits are a knock out
