Lyrics
One Hundred Children
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's all the races and creeds and colors of the world
one of each - marching along, singing, 'Don't blow up the world.
One hundred children brave boys and girls
They come from nations all over the world
One hundred children marching along
One hundred children singing their song.
Don't blow up the world don't kill all the flowers
Today this is your world tomorrow it's ours
Leave us pure water and forest uncut
Think of tomorrow leave something for us.
Your God may be dead but ours is alive
We think without him we cannot survive
Punish all the bad men praise all the good
Talk to your neighbors about brotherhood.
One hundred children brave boys and girls
They come from nations all over the world
One hundred children marching along
One hundred children singing their song.
This is the song I was singing one night
While I was thinking of wrong and of right
I thought of good things that still could be done
The marchers now number one hundred and one.
One hundred children brave boys and girls
They come from nations all over the world
One hundred children marching along
One hundred children singing their song.
One hundred children brave boys and girls
They come from nations all over the world
One hundred children marching along
One hundred children singing their song...
