Lyrics
I just wanna ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world in despair
Who really cares?

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')

Who really cares?
(Who really cares?)
Who's willing to try
(Who' is willing to try)
To save the world
(To save a world)
That's destined to die
(That is destined to die)

When I look at the world
(When I look at the world)
Oh, it fills me with sorrow
(It fills me with sorrow)
Little children today
(Children today)
Really gonna suffer tomorrow
(Really suffer tomorrow)

(Oh) what a shame
(What a shame)
Such a bad way to live
(Such a bad way to live)
Uh, who is to blame?
(Who is to blame?)
We can't stop livin'
(When can't stop livin'?)

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)

You see (oh-oh)
Let's, let's save the children
Let's, let's save all the children

Save the babies
Save the babies
And if you wanna love
You got love, save the babies
Oh don't know how to feel, you got feel it
You will save the babies
All of the children

But who really cares?
Who's willing to try
Yes, to save our world
Yeah, save our sweet world

Save the world
That is destined to die
Oh, oh-oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh, oh, dig it, everybody
