Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just wanna ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world in despair
Who really cares?
[Verse 2]
There'll come a time
There'll come a time
When the world won't be singin'
When the world won't be singin'
Flowers won't grow
Flowers won't grow, no
Bells won't be ringin'
The bells won't be ringin'
[Verse 3]
Who really cares?
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try?
Who is willing to try?
To save the world
To save the world
That's destined to die
That is destined to die
[Verse 4]
When I look at the world
When I look at the world
And fills me with sorrow
It fills me with sorrow
Little children today
Children today
Are really gonna suffer tomorrow
Really suffer tomorrow
[Verse 5]
What a shame
Oh, what a shame
Such a bad way to live
Such a bad way to live
All who is to blame
Who is to blame?
We can't stop livin'
When we can't stop livin', oh
[Verse 6]
Live, live, live for life (Live for life)
But let live everybody
Live life for the children
Live life for the children
Oh, for the children
[Verse 7]
You see, let's, let's save the children
Let's, let's save all the children
Save the babies
Save the babies
[Verse 8]
And if you wanna love
You got love to save the babies
Oh, who's got the feeling? Got the feeling
You will save the babies
All of the children
[Verse 9]
But who really cares?
Who's willing to try?
Yeah, to save our world
Yeah, save our sweet world
[Verse 10]
Save a world
That is destined to die
Oh, oh, oh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh-oh
Dig it everybody
