Who Will Save The Children Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]One of the best ways that I have seen to be a
mercy giver to a hurting world is through
the
Ministry of
Compassion
International.
I've had the privilege
of working with
Compassion for over 20 years now,
as has my good friend
Phil
Keggy.
Well,
Randy and I went to
Haiti in 1984, and it was such
a memorable experience.
We sang the song for those kids and they were singing the
song along and there have been
times when I've played this
song of yours,
Randy, in concert because I love this song.
I believe in this song.
This is another one of
those great classics that
God definitely has given and it's up
there with the best of them.
So this song is wonderful,
[G]Who
Will
[Am]Save the
Children.
Thank you.

[Verse 2]
[C]Cry for all the [F]innocent [Am]ones
Born into a [G]world that's lost its heart
[C]For those who never lea[F]rn
to [Am]dream
Because their hope is [G]crushed
before they can start
[C]We shake our fis[F]ts at the air
[Am]And say, if
God is love, how can [Dm]this be [G]fair?
But [C]we are
His [F]hands, we are
[Am]His voice
We are the [F]ones who must make the [C]choice.
If it isn't [F]now, tell me [Am]when.
If it isn't [Dm]you, [Em]tell me
[F]who will [G]save the [C]children?
[F]Who will save the chil[Am]dren?[Dm][Am]
La la la [F]la [G]la[Am][Dm][Am][F][G]
[C]We count our blessings [F]one by one,
[Am]yet we have forgotte[G]n how to give.[C]
It seems that we don't [F]want to face [Am]all the
hungry and home[G]less who struggle to live.
[C]But heaven is [F]watching tonight
[Am]Tugging at our hearts to [Dm]do what's r[G]ight
And we are [F]his hands
We are [Am]his voice
We are the [F]ones
Who must make the [C]choice
If it isn't [F]now
Tell me [Am]when
If it isn't you
[Dm]Tell[Em] me who will[F] save [G]the chil[C]dren?
[F]Who will save the childre[Am]n?
[F]As we observe them through our
[Am]TV screens
[F]They seem so distant and un[Am]real
But [G]they [C]bleed [G]like we bleed
[C]And they fee[F]l what we fee[G]l
Oh, save the [Am]children
[Dm][Am][F][G]
Somebody [Am]please[F][G]
[Am]
Save the chil[F]dren[G][Am][F][G]
[C]We decide that [F]nothing can [Am]change
and throw up our hand[G]s in numb despair.
[C]We lose a pie[F]ce of our souls by [Am]teaching
[G]ourselves just how not to [C]care.
Christ would have [F]gone to the [Am]cross
Just to save one child from [Dm]being [G]lost
And we are
His [F]hands
We are
[Am]His voice
And we are the [F]ones
Who must make the [C]choice
And it must be [F]now
There's no [Am]time to wait
And it must be [F]you
No one can [Am]take your place, can't you [Dm]see?
If [Em]only [F]we can [G]save the [Am]children[F]
Save [Am]the c[F]hildren
[G]Somebody ple[Am]ase[Dm][G][Am][F][G]
[Am]Save the children, someb[G]ody,[Am] they'[Dm]re dying[Am],[F]
[G]please save the [Am]children, [F]save
[G][Am]
