Think Of The Children Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Think of a woman
Think of the children that she'll bring into this world
What will we give them?
What will they see when they open their eyes?

[Chorus]
(Something that I've seen)
Made me stop and think
Think of the children
All of the children
(Something that I've dreamed)
Gave me one last thing to believe in

[Verse 2]
Think of the water
Will they know that blue was once the colour?
Will the side of a building
Be the trees and streams that wе once knew?

[Chorus]
(Something that I'vе seen)
It made me stop and think of the children
All of the children
(Something that I've dreamed)
It gave me one last thing to believe in
Believe in
[Verse 1]
Think of a woman
And think of the children that she'll bring to the world
And what will we give them?
What will they see when they open their eyes?

[Chorus]
(Something that I've seen)
It made me stop and think
Think of the children
All of the children
(Something that I dreamed)
Gave me one last thing to believe in

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
