Michael Jackson's Message (Protect the Children)

MICHAEL JACKSON'S MESSAGE (PROTECT THE CHILDREN) - Written by Carroll Bryant

“Today I was inspired by Michael Jackson while listening to his songs. I began thinking about the turmoil in Gaza and Israel - I couldn’t get the thoughts out of my head of innocent little children dying. Please call for a cease fire and try and work things out peacefully. Protect the children.”

When you hear the laughter of the children

Angels sing from above

The sun will shine and it’s listening

To the voices filled with love

Playing in a field of flowers - we are gay

So happy today

When you hear the laughter of the children

God will smile on us all

The breeze will blow to be gentle

In your arms, all their dreams we should hold

Don’t let their world to turn sour - or go away

Teach them the right way

We are the village

We can’t let them to get lost

We are the leaders

Raising them is all of our jobs

Take the hand of your neighbor

Promise you will be true

For the hope and dreams of our children

Resides in me

Resides in you

Protect the children

We have the power

To gain or lose control

Every minute of every hour

We either save or lose our soul

Know that this life is worth with what we’re making

Open up your hearts to all we have forsaken

It’s easy for me

It’s easy for you

When you hear the laughter of the children

The stars come out at night

This is our time for the living

And we have to do it right

Please don’t let their thoughts go to drifting - or slip away

Please just let them play

The smile of a child is the answer to our wars

Damned all the while we can be torn

Love and protection is the act we all must heed

There’s still time for you

There’s still time for me

Let’s not let them bleed

When you hear the laughter of the children

Angels sing from above

The sun will shine and it’s listening

To the voices filled with love

Protect the children

Please love the children

Thank God for the children

Let the child in you see the children

Protect the children

Don’t neglect the children

Protect the children

Their innocence is on display
