Cryin' out for love, cryin' out love

I hear dey cryin' out, mama
I hear dem cryin' out love
They need a rightful place, dada
They need to shelter from da storm

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love

I see some round tha streets, dada
Street side becomes their daily school
They need some proper education
They need to learn the golden rule

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love

Some need a guiding star, dada
Some need to cuddle in your arms
Some need your time of day, mama
Can't face this Gideon on their own

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love

I see the suffer out there
I see the battered out there
Street side become some home
Oh Jah their mind is not at ease

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love

Love for every kids
Bread for every kids
That's when the world would be changed
Take it from root
Teach the youths the truth
Teach the youth the roots yeh

Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
Children are cryin' out for love
Cryin' out love
