The kids

I'm living my life for the kids

I hope to see them when they're all grown up

I'll be so satisfied

The kids

I've got to be strong for the kids

Be a good example

Straight or not

Show them how to survive

Listen to them laugh

Look at them playing

Listen to them sing

Look at them dance

Not a care in the world

Because they know I'll protect them

From any harm

From any fall

The kids

Gotta to make it better for the kids

Try to nourish them with confidence

To make it on their own

This crazy wonderful world

Sometimes it hard to understand

So I'll show them how to be a woman

I'll teach them how to be a man

Education is the key to their future

Teach to be respect each other too

Show them how to be independent

And to stand up on their own

The kids

Gotta make it better for the kids

Try and guide them on that narrow path

The straight way to go

The kids

Ooh the kids

They're depending they're depending on you and me

Please make it better make it better for the kids

Make sure they know about their Maker

I'm talking about the Creator

The kids

I'm living my life for the kids

Gotta clean place to live

Enough food to eat

Oh

Listen to them laugh

Look at them playing

Not a care in the world

I'm on my side to take
