Lyrics Below


Listen To The Children
Written by David H. Smith Jr.

There are many words
Spoken by a chosen few
Who see a different point of view
From places called home
As for these troubled lives
Marching to a different drum
The song changes but the rhythm
Stays the same
Listen to The Children
They have so much to say
Play the music
Hear the laughter
Help them find their way
Listen to The Children
Don't tear their dreams apart
Can you listen with your heart


There are many times
We want to take the easy road
No matter how the story goes
Or who is to blame
If we could stop and see
How they need a family
The world will listen
To the message Children sing

Listen to The Children
They have so much to say
Play the music
Hear the laughter
Help them find their way
Listen to The Children
Don't tear their dreams apart
Can you listen with your heart

And maybe someday when they've grown
And had to make it on their own
It will be too late
To listen to the harmony
It will be too late, to hear the children sing.

Listen to The Children
They have so much to say
Play the music
Hear the laughter
Help them find their way
Listen to The Children
Don't tear their dreams apart
Can you listen with your heart
