Way up on that mountain children
Reachin' up there for ya children
Need ya back down here my children
To plant your pretty flowers children
(C'mon children, c'mon children)

Hey, hey-hey, hey
Come on down and lend a hand
Need your love, to save the land
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(C'mon children, c'mon children)

The world needs the children
Cryin' for the children
The world needs the children

Need ya back down here my children
To plant your pretty flowers children
Come on children
Need your love to save the land
Need your love to save the land
To save the land, save the land
To save the land, save the land

Need ya back down here my children
To plant your pretty flowers children
Come on children
Need your love to save the land
Need your love to save the land
To save the land, save the land
To save the land, save the land
