If we fed them
All of the hungry children here
What would it do to our world?
If they’d been properly fed
What might their dreams be
in the days ahead?
Soon they’ll be grown
Off they will go with a handicap
And then we’ll never know
What might have been
If we’d fed them
V2)
If we housed them
All of the homeless children here
What would it do to our world?
What might they become with stable lives
With space of their own, how might they thrive?
Soon they’ll be grown
Off they will go, disturbed and rootless
And then we’ll never know
What might have been
If we’d housed them?
