Based On A True Story Lyrics - 2001

[ Buy Based On A True Story ]

They need our love if we are willing
(this one is for the children)
(cause lil' mo love the kids yea)
So i'm asking what about the children, yeah
(for every child, for every human)

Looking back on yesterday
Funny how things have changed
We forgot all about the simple things
Didn't we?
Instead of getting kids off the streets
Will go and buy a diamond ring?
Put a pleasure right before priority
We're too busy sittin' here thinking about us
Need to think about the kids just because

They need our love if we are willing
So i'm asking what about the children, yeah

I even cry myself to sleep
When i see kids that are fooled to weep
Who are we to say that we don't see these things
It's in our face every day
But you turn and walk away
Open up your heart and spread some love today
We're too busy sittin' here thinking about us
Need to think about the kids just because

They need our love if we are willing
So i'm asking what about the children, yeah

Sit around just thinking about us
Need to think about the kids just because
Knowing we can change all things with the help of god
We need to see what our love can bring

They need our love if we are willing
So i'm asking what about the children, yeah
They need our love if we are willing
So i'm asking what about the children, yeah
They need our love if we are willing
So i'm asking what about the children, yeah
They need our love if we are willing
So i'm asking what about the children, yeah
