This is the song.. but the words are faded out.. “They said that you were trouble, and you didn’t care, you were just an orphan child, that was getting nowhere, Mama was leaving, Papa was too, who was there to care about, ohhhwhat happened to you. Many broken hearts, led you to cry, the tears fell from your eyes as you said your goodbyes. Now that we’re all older, we’ve grown so strong, we can tell the world about our song, a song for the children.. (Then 350 of us sang, 25 on stage and the rest in our audience).. We all need, we all needheeeeed.. We all nee…eed, a song for the children. They said that you were trouble, and it wasn’t fair, why am I classed as a number, just because I’m in “CARE”. No one to trust, though they may seem kind, what they don’t realise, is we’ve still have a mind. Now your on your own with your messed up feelings, we will make them aware, when they hear us singing, we’re singing now baby..(Chorus 350 young people in ‘care’ NAYPIC 1991).. We all need, we all need, we all need, a song for the children… And now your minds not your own, but you had to carry on, and what they took from me, I can’t let them take my dignity, your face was so surprised, when you fell with tears in your eyes but now I’m back on feet and I can the world now, singing in every town, (guitar rift…) Everybody.. we all need, we all need, we all need, yeahhh a song for the children.. we all need, come on and sing it, we all need, come on and sing it now babe, we all need, a song for the children… We all need, sing, we all need, we all need, yeahhh, A SONG FOR THE CHILDREN, We all need, we all need, yea we all need, A SOOOOOONNNNNGGGG for the childrennnnn, (fade) we all need.. (re-entrance) a song for the, a song for the.. (children sing ”CHILDREN”) we all need, we all need, we all need, A SONG FOR THE CHILDREN (Abrupt End)
