We'd like to send this one to all the children around the world
From the shores of the Caribbean, to the jungles of South America
To the inner cities of North America
Across the oceans to Europe and Africa and over into Asia
The heart of a child, more precious than diamonds and pearls
Let's teach the children love and what it's worth
The heart of a child, more precious than diamonds and pearls
Let's teach the children love and what it's worth
In teaching children bout love, let's start with the words of the lord
What better way to start, where we know that god is love
We've got to reach for their souls
Save them from the troubles of the world
We can't give up they look to us, and this we got to know
Innocent within their hearts are pure
And all they see us do they'll do for sure
We got to be wise in all we do
Before their eyes cause they're not fools
The parents of tomorrow are children today
Oh help us lord I pray
The heart of a child, more precious than diamonds and pearls
Let's teach the children love and what it's worth
The heart of a child, more precious than diamonds and pearls
Let's teach the children love and what it's worth
When a child is young, it's the best time to learn
When the heart is clean and pure, innocent to all that's wrong
Let's open all eyes and see
When they're young we've got to put in good seeds
So when they grow, the truth they'll know
Then their hearts and their souls will be free
Innocent within their hearts are pure
And all they see us do they'll do for sure
We got to be wise in all we do
Before there eyes cause they're not fools
The parents of tomorrow are children today
Ooh help us lord I pray
The heart of a child, more precious than diamonds and pearls
Let's teach the children love and what it's worth
The heart of a child, more precious than diamonds and pearls
Let's teach the children love and what it's worth
