Save the Children Lyrics



Mother may I, yes son I know it hurts

Mother may I, a scar for what it's worth



My life is hell is my home

With father's belt, more pain to come



God save the children

Take their souls and set them free

The way life used to be

God save the children

Away from backhand misery

From under lock and key



Son I hear you, don't cry or it gets worse

Son I hear you, the blood of daddy's curse



Abort the flesh of my own kin

To keep you free from your father's sins



God save the children

Take their souls and set them free

The way life used to be

God save the children

Away from backhand misery

From under lock and key



Well it's fallin' down on me

I'm just a pawn in god's own gallery

A child beaten for all the world to see

In the midst of all your glory



My life is hell is my home

With father's belt, more pain to come



God save the children

Take their souls and set them free

The way life used to be

God save the children

Away from backhand misery

From under lock and key

God save the children

God save the children

God save the children

God save the children
