CHILDREN OF THE WORLD II

from WE'RE ALL VERSIONS [Digitally Remastered] by The Santairs

/

about

This is actually the second version of this song. The original version is song #101. This is a more upbeat version than the original tune and has more of a religious flare to it. The other version has some different lyrics to it than this one. I got the idea for this song from the “We Are The World” tunes and so on. I find it ironic that the meaning of this song, when I first wrote it back in 1986, is still relevant today. It seems people really don't change much in this small amount of time. On a grander scale of millenniums, humankind may mature.

This is song #142.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD,
DON'T DO WHAT I HAVE DONE. (YEA)
THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD,
DON'T THINK WE HAVE IT WON. (MEN)

WOMEN OF THE EARTH,
SO SWEET AND SO STRONG. (COME ON, CLAP YOUR HANDS)
THE MEN OF TODAY,
CONCEITED AND SO WRONG.

STOP YOUR RUNNIN' AND TELL US THE TRUTH.
THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO HEAR.
LET US LIVE WITHOUT YOUR LAWS.
(SPOKEN): LET US LIVE WITHOUT FEAR.

THE CHILDREN OF OUR LIVES, WILL LIVE (WE SHALL LIVE) IN HARMONY.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD (YEA) SHALL LIVE AND BE SO FREE.

THE POWER YOU HAVE SHOULD BE IN ALL HANDS. (ALL OUR HANDS)
PLEASE STOP YOUR WAR HERE TODAY.
WE SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO SING IN PEACE, (BROTHER)
SO COME TO REASON AND SAY:

CHILDREN OF THE WORLD (THIS WORLD)
WILL LIVE THEIR LIVES SO, SO LONG.
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD
WILL LIVE TO SING THIS SONG.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
