(We Don’t Have To) Cry For The Children

Sometimes these days we think about the things we took for granted

In times like this we can take all that we’ve learned tend to seeds we planted

Watch them grow help them grow there’s no room for sorrow

Today may be tough, we’ll look back tomorrow...and we’ll know Yes we’ll know we don’t have to cry for the children

Their future like the sun in the sky is shining bright

We don’t have to cry for the children

Let’s put our arms around them assure them it’s alright

Kids today not like we were yesterday they never are (they never are)

Today is unlike any other day it’s so far from what we knew once as another day

Times have changed it’s time to rearrange the way we treat each other

Today may be tough, we can go much farther if we know

Yes we know we don’t have to cry for the children

Their future like the sun in the sky is shining brighter

We don’t have to cry for the children

Let’s put our trust in them and watch them as they grow

Times have changed it’s time we rearrange the way we treat each other

Today may be tough hear me sisters listen brothers

We know yes we know

We don’t have to cry for our children -their future like the sun in the sky is shining brighter

We don’t have to cry for our children - We’ll place our trust in them help them make it right

We don’t have to cry for our children - Let’s put our arms around them show them it’s alright

We don’t have to cry for our children - Let’s put our arms around them it’s gonna be alright

Today may be tough, you’’ll look back tomorrow
