Who Is Gonna Tell The Child? Lyrics

Chorus:
Who is gonna tell the child about Jesus
Who is gonna tell the child about God?
Well I believe, I believe it's my responsibility to
Tell the child about God

See that child, standing on the corner,
Wondering which way to go
Should he go left, should he go right?
I believe the child really ought to know now

Repeat Chorus

See that child, his life is a mess
You wonder what's inside of his head
If someone doesn't tell him 'bout the love of the Lord
You know he's gonna wind up dead

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Who'll tell the children?
Who'll lend a hand? (Who'll lend a hand?)
Their way is hopeless
Without the Man

Think about it (think about it)

Can't you see that boy hanging in the streets
He's trying to do the best he can
If he only knew he has a Father who cares
I believe he'd grow to be a better man

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Who is gonna tell the child about Jesus
Who is gonna tell the child about God?
