Resistance members protest outside a detention facility while scenes of the news coverage are broadcast on the big screen above them

In this world of high prosperity                  there is so much we can do

To make this world a better place             for those like me and you,

But in other lands not far away

There’s children crying every day

From a life of deprivation                             from this world they run away.

We used to welcome others                       welcome strangers to our land

Kids and dads and mothers                          we extend a welcoming hand

But now our leader’s all but stated

That these immigrants should be hated

He wants to keep them from coming       and will do whatever to keep them away.

We’ve got to save the children now

They’re just little anyhow

They’ve got a right to a life and somehow

We’ve got to save the children now!

And now at our Southern border              children are ripped from parents’ arms

Fleeing from disorder                                     they’ve done nobody harm

These families are torn apart

By a brutal government without a heart

Toddlers incarcerated                                    with no compassion shown their way.

Nothing has so enraged us

As to see these kids locked in cages

Their parents are deported home

While their children cry all alone

Far from home, all alone…

But before you say its hopeless                 and that there’s nothing can be done

Before you say – impossible                        to reunite every single one

We can’t believe with our own eyes

Believe our leaders’ appalling lies

We must protest and raise our outrage until we make them change their ways.

We’ve got to save the children now

They’re just little anyhow

They’ve got a right to a life and somehow

We’ve got to save the children now!
