'Let the Children Play'
THEY STAND ON THE FIELD WITH THEIR HEARTS BEATING FAST
THE WHISTLE HAS BLOWN THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST
MUM AND DAD CANNOT HELP THEY STAND ALONE
A GOAL AT THIS MOMENT WOULD SEND THEM HOME
THE BALL NEAR THEIR FEET THEY KICK AND MISS
THERE'S A MOAN FROM THE CROWD SOME BOOS AND SOME HISSES
A THOUGHTLESS VOICE CRIES TAKE OFF THE BUM
TEARS FILLED THEIR EYES IT'S NO LONGER FUN.
IF YOUR EVER TEMPTED TO SHOUT OR GROAN
REMEMBER IT'S A CHILD WHO STANDS ALONE
SO OPEN YOUR HEART GIVE THEM A BREAK
IT'S MOMENTS LIKE THIS A PLAYER YOU MAKE
KEEP THIS IN MIND PLEASE DO NOT FORGET
THEY'RE ONLY CHILDREN NOT ADULTS YET !!
