the music and to Le Music Room for the recording.

Don't leave the kids 'till last
Finding
help wherever you can
Reaching out for a helping hand
Imagine no one there for you,
No one worried bout what you do,
You go home on a winter's night,
House in darkness, is that right?
Or family's home, dont notice you're gone,
Where ever you've been or for how long,
We
can get together, do what we can,
It doesnt take more thana, helping hand,
And a child today, is hoping for a future.
Chorus
Children need some help in life,
And someone to hold them right,
Whatever happened in the past,
Dont leave the kids till last,
Anything
we have to give,
So that little one will live,
Think what we put in the bin,
In our world ruled by the pen.
There
are people that you trust,
people you meet they say you must,
But you have an inner fear,
That you dont want them near,
Everyone a round you laughs,
But they walk on different paths,
Cause you know it isnt right,
The way that person holds you tight,
But
we can get together, do what we can,
It doesnt take more thana, helping hand,
And a child today, is hoping for a future.
Chorus
Little
Joe lives in a world,
Where his flag will lie unfurled,
He has nothing left to drink,
No tap or kitchen sink,
He has nothing, but he grins,
But he is suffering for our sins,
Some people do their best,
Many think that its a pest,
When
the time comes we must give,
So that little Joe will live.
Its not a charity,
To help a neighbour 'cross the sea.
Or here in our backyard,
A child's life is marred,
Chorus
