For The Children Songtext

a no hatred a no grudge could never give it to the children - the children

Verse 1:
come let us pave a way for the children
so that they all can live
tired fi see dem outa road deh ya a juggle
and me see you teach dem peer negative
now tell me what have you done to protect dem
i'm talking you mr. big investment
instead a you bring dem to the top of the mountain
a peer pit you a dig

Chorus 2:
i see dem doing in dem doing all dem doing
dem nuh care about the children - children
dem only sit down and mash up the society
and nothing for the children - children - the children

Bridge:
i know that they depending on you open your heart and let jah through

Verse 2:
to every mother and every father i and i say bless up
i know the feeling what it bring to see your children dress up

tell your son put down the gun him a tek up
counsel him show him the gun ting a nuh something fi pet up

but dis ya generation you never ever go wreck up

Verse 3:
