Who Will Protect The Children

Who will protect the children
From all the pain and harm
When fame power and fortune
Can outrun the laws long arm

Who will protect the children
When they see it every day
And threats of death and violence
Keeps there words at bay

Who will protect the children
From humiliation and shame
When all those around them
Says don’t say his name

Who will protect the children
And help them stand and say
What was done to them was wrong
And it will end today

We have to protect our children
By making the guilty pay
And let the children be children
And live another day
