Phyllis Hyman - The Kids Lyrics
The kidsIm living my life for the kidsI hope see them when theyre all grown upIll be so satisfiedThe kidsIve got to be strong for the kidsBe a good exampleStraight or notShow them how to surviveListen to them laughLook at them playingListen to them singLook at them danceNot a care in the worldBecause they know Ill protect themFrom any harmFrom any fallThe kidsGotta to make it better for the kidsTry to nourish them with confidenceTo make it on their ownThis crazy wonderful worldSometimes it hard to understandSo Ill show them how to be a womanIll teach them how to be a manEducation is the key to their futureTeach to be respect each other tooShow them how to be independentAnd to stand up on their ownThe kidsGotta make it better for the kidsTry and guide them on that narrow pathThe straight way to goThe kidsOoh, the kidsTheyre depending, theyre depending on you and mePlease make it better, make it better for the kidsMake sure they know about their MakerIm talking about the CreatorThe kidsIm living my life for the kidsGotta clean place to liveEnough food to eatOhListen to them laughLook at them playingNot a care in the worldfade
