Lyrics

LET THE CHILDREN


1ST: LET THE CHILDREN SPEAK HIS NAME, DON?T YOU THINK IT?S TIME WE START TO CHANGE. THE WAY WE THINK, THE WAY WE LIVE, AND BE GRATEFUL FOR THE THINGS HE CAN GIVE.


2ND: HE TOLD US IT WAS SO, HE WAS THE WORD WE NEEED TO KNOW. WITHOUT IT WERE GONE AND LOST, SO HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH AT ALL COST. THEY TOOK TOMMY FROM THE SCHOOL YARD, WHEN HE TRIED TO READ. TEACHER SAID ?TOMMY YOU CAN?T READ THIS HERE?, TOMMY SAID ?WHY WON?T YOU LISTEN TO ME?.


CHORUS: LET THE CHILDREN SPEAK HIS NAME, IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHO BETTER TO CLAIM. THE FUTURE LOOKS MIGHTY BLEEK, SO LET THEM TALK, LET THEM SPEAK, OF THE RISEN ONE. THE KING, SO HUMBLE AND MEEK.


3RD: THEN HE TOLD US IT WOULD BE, TRAGEDY WOULD COME AND SOON WE WOULD SEE. ON A COLD AND WINDY DAY, ALL THE NEWSPAPERS HAD TO SAY. THEY CAME TO SCHOOL GUNS DRAWN IN HAND, LOST SOULS NEEDING GOD?S HANDS. DO YOU BELIEVE IS WHAT HE SAID, YES SHE SPOKE WITH A GUN TO HER HEAD.


CHORUS: THEN SHE SPOKE HIS NAME, COULD YOU OR I EVER DO THE SAME. WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY, LITTLE BOY?S TOOK LIVES AWAY. LET US NEVER FORGET THAT SHE SPOKE HIS NAME THAT DAY.


BREAK: SO WHERE ARE ALL THE HERO?S THAT THE KIDS NEED TODAY? WELL MAKE GOD THEIR HERO, AND THE KID?S WILL BE PROUD TO SAY HIS NAME TODAY.

REPEAT 1ST
