All of the black and white children
All of the black and white children
ย
Innocence and purity
From a world of security
They come to us into this world of sin and lust
Let us spread our love throughout creation
Let us sleep and lie into temptation
Let us lift him up instead of bringing him down
(Bringing him down)
Let them light the candle
We let go down (ooh, ooh, ooh)
All of the black and white children (all of the black and white children)
All of the black and white children (all of the black and white children)
I'm looking forward to the day when we
Smile down on humanity
And say out loud
Beat our children and we're so proud
Let us spread our love throughout creation
Let us sleep and lie into temptation
Let us lift him up instead of bringing him down
(Keep bringing him down)
Let them light the candle
We let go down (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Let them spread our love throughout creation
Let us sleep and lie into temptation
Let us lift him up instead of bringing him down
(Bringing him down)
Let them light the candle
We let go down (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Let them spread our love throughout creation
Let us sleep and lie into temptation
Oh, let us spread our love throughout creation
Oh, we gotta sleep and lie into temptation
