Save The Children

Verse 1

Sirens in the distance, little eyes wide

Footsteps echo, every street's a question

Empty promises breaking all sides

Who will answer, who will mention

I see broken backpacks, shoes with holes

See the papers pile, see the hunger grows

Days drip slow, but they call me cold

Little ones missing, I feel lost control

One word—survive

One kid—thrive

Every day they fight, every day they strive

Every tear fell, underneath the sky

Can't hold still, can't let it slide

Chorus

Save the children, save the future

Every second we wait, hearts get bruised, yeah

Save the children, save the future

Can't breathe, won't be muted

Post-Chorus

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Verse 2

See the news say numbers, but I see faces

Empty lunch trays, empty spaces

Friendly fire on playgrounds, still it paces

Truth so raw, I can almost taste it

Maybe you ignore, try to move ahead

Maybe you scroll past, scroll up instead

Maybe you sleep sound, but they shake in their beds

Three word prayer spinning through our heads

I swear

Won’t fade out, I’ll light a match

Raise my fists, won’t be detached

They call for help, I strike back

Can't hush this pain, can’t cut no slack

Chorus

Save the children, save the future

Every second we wait, hearts get bruised, yeah

Save the children, save the future

Can't breathe, won't be muted

Post-Chorus

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Bridge

I won’t sit silent, I won’t look away

I carry them forward, I fight for change

Raise up, lift up, stand tall in pain

Raise up, lift up, stand tall in pain

Call out the truth, call out the shame

Call for the lives, not fortune or fame

If you see what I see, you’ll never be the same

Chorus

Save the children, save the future

Every second we wait, hearts get bruised, yeah

Save the children, save the future

Can't breathe, won't be muted

Post-Chorus

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Stand up for them, stand up for hope

Outro
