Child isn't born with a prejudiced mind He only learns what he sees Or what he's taught to do
Think about your children, mother Help all mankind Don't let the weight of hate Weigh the world down
Here we are in this world together We were meant to live with each other Tell the child the truth, it's your own son And everybody know about freedom
(Think about your children, think think Let them love one another Got a long way to go Really gotta get there fast
It a shamed it had to be But we can't change the past Think about your children, mother Save all mankind Don't let the weight of hate Weigh the world down
(Think about the children) I can see a good day a-comin' More of love and no time for hating There will be no need for debating And everybody know about freedom
Here we are in this world together We were meant to live with each other Tell the child the truth, it's your own son And everybody know about freedom
(Think about your children, think think) Help men love one another (Think about the children, think think) Help them love one another (Think about the children, think think)
I can see a good day a-comin' More of love and no time for hating There will be no need for debating And everybody know about freedom
