No Place to Be a Child

Lyrics

Abused in his mother's womb By the drugs and such that she'd consumed Right from the start He had no place to be a child Now his eyes tell the story of A world too cold to show it's love Alone and afraid He has no place to be a child Is there no place to be a child? Is there some place that you know Where a little one can go and be a child Growing up can take a while But many find no place to be a child Some are left to grow up in the streets Where in turn they abuse Everyone that they meet 'Cause that's what you learn When there's no place to be a child Aborted future's piled by the score And all because life is not sacred no more No more, no more Oh, there's no place to be a child Is there no place to be a child? Is there some place that you know Where a little one can go and be a child You know that growing up can take a while But many find no place to be a child Oh, doctor, lawyer, Indian chief Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief Makes no difference, we share this sadness Let's make a difference and stop this madness No place, hey, to be a child, Lord To be a child Where can we go, to be a child To be a child Where can we go, to be a child Is there no place to be a child? Is there some place that you know Where a little one can go and be a child Well, they say growing up can take a while But many find no place to be a child People were bringing little children to Jesus To have Him touch them But the disciples rebuked them When Jesus saw this, He was indignant He said to them, "Little children come to me Do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God Belongs to such as these I tell you the truth Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God Like a little child will never enter it" And He took the children in His arms Put His hands on them and blessed them Is there no place to be a child
