The King I Am
Hey, You there, selling death from the shadows
Yes, You there, pushing drugs on the street
before you lose your immortal soul
there is someone I ‘d like you to meet
He is the hope for both You and I
He sent His only son here to die
for, Brother he’s got a plan
and his time is at hand
The King I AM
Hey, You there, you’re a killer for money
Hey Sister selling love for a fix
Hey You, You sold your soul for Rock & Roll music
your falling for all Satan's tricks
There is someone who’ll give you a hand
there is someone who’d understand
Hey you Brother He’s got a plan
The King I AM

Save the Children
Dear friends, I feel that it’s time
no longer can we deny it’s a crime
they have a right to life, just like we do.
Dear friends, the time is at hand
divided we fall, but united we stand.
There’s so much to do, its up to me and you.
Dear friends, won’t you lend a hand
The time has come to make a stand
Dear friends, we can’t close our eyes
and turn a deft ear to the little ones cries,
Now is the time to do what we must do
Dear friends, we can’t just stand by
while so many little one’s die.
Though it seems hopelessly lost in legalities
some how I know if we try
saving a child is something worthwhile
and I know that God’s on our side
So save the Children
Let them Live.
