Ballad For The Children

de Roy Hargrove

Mama and daddy couldn't save their marriage to save their lifes
So mama took us kids and put us in the car and rode away one night
And I remember daddy cryin' on the porch as his life rode out of sight
Mama tried hard to hide the tears but I could see 'em through the highway lights

Now mama and daddy didn't want their children to grow up wrong
And they knew it wasn't right for us to see how they couldn't get along
And I heard mama prayin' real soft when she thought we were all asleep
She was saying Jesus Lord I'll put them in your keep

Save the children Lord don't let them go astray
And Lord please forgive me for this day

Mama she don't know the kind of life I live today
Livivng in this neon hell where the lonely pay to play
Somehow despite what mama said this child has gone astray
Lord I know your mem'ry's good you'll remember what my mama prayed

Save the children Lord don't let them go astray...
Save the children Lord don't let them go astray...
