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
