Are you ready to think of the future? To think about somebody else? It may be your children's children And not just yourself There's a kingdom below the ocean And it stretches beyond the Sun There is more than we ever imagined It's for everyone Think about the children Oh, the children On a mountain beyond the horizon Lay a bird with a broken wing Although it suffered, it never surrendered And it began to sing And the children all stopped to listen To the melody in the air They never heard the pain They didn't know it was there Think about the children Oh, the children We're part of the universe We all share the Moon and the Sun And they will still be here Long after we are gone There was a dreamer who stood by the river He was deep in a world of his own Well, he fell into the water And he sank like a stone And in the silence of the evening It was long after he was gone The bird with the broken wing Began to sing his song Think about the children Oh, the children Are you ready to think of the future? To think about somebody else? It may be your children's children And not just yourself And not just yourself And not just yourself
