Lyrics
1.
Do you think it's just, do you think that it's okay,
That this child is lying here
Like garbage in the dark and lonely street?
(repeat these 3 lines)
Chorus:
Won't you do something, just do something,
Even though it seems so small;
Won't you do something, just do something,
Don't do nothing at all.
2.
Do you think it's just, do you think that it's okay
That this child is crying out,
So hungry and so thirsty and in pain?
(repeat these 3 lines)
chorus
3.
Do you think it's just, do you think that it's okay
That this mother sits and weeps
In anguish for her tiny dying child?
(repeat these 3 lines)
chorus x 2
last time finishing:
Won't you do something, please do something,
Don't do nothing at all.
