Come let us sing a song for the children

Cause babylon nuh care about the children

Dem nuh care about the children — children

Dem only sit down and mash up the society

And nothing for the children — children — the children

A no hatred a no grudge could never give it to the children — the children

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
