There’s not a mother in this world who would watch her child, Cry in the street stand and watch her weep There’s not a mother in this world who wouldn’t give Up her own life for the life of her child There’s not a mother in this world who wouldn’t be Happy to have a home for her family Where are your homes where are your families What will you eat today where will you sleep
Oh people of the world Can we spare a little justice can we spare a little peace For the children of war Oh people of the world Can we spare a little love can we spare a little prayer For the children of war
Is there a father in this world who would not Try to provide for his children and his wife Is there a father in this world who would want to be Locked up in a cell away from his family Is there a father in this world who would not defend Justice and rights till the very end Where are your jobs where is security Where is freedom when will you all be free
Oh people of the world Can we spare a little justice can we spare a little peace For the children of war Oh people of the world Can we spare a little love can we spare a little prayer For the children of war
There’s not a child in this world who should have to grow up Living in fear drowning in despair No child in this world should be deprived of an education And every child in this world would want to play In a safe community having fun running free We pray for you children Lord ease their pain And give them strength to go on day by day
Oh people of the world Can we spare a little justice can we spare a little peace For the children of war Oh people of the world Can we spare a little love can we spare a little prayer For the children of war
