A Child Is Waiting

(album: The Season For Miracles - 1970)

(Ooh)
Everyone today is talking about ecology
Saying there are too many people on the earth
And we should limit the amount of children we have
Well, folks forget there's a way to enlarge upon your family
And at the same time help mankind solve some of its problems
How? It's easy
By opening your home and your heart
To one of the thousands of children in this world
Who have no place in it yet
Kids of every color and of every creed
Each with a different personality, but with a common need

A child is waiting for you somewhere
A child is waiting with love to share
A life that starts the day you open your heart
And open your arms and care

Shh, a child is praying somewhere tonight
(A child blessed tonight)
A child is praying with all its might
(A child blessed with all its might)
For you to hear this song, its lonely heart cries
And open your eyes to see
Little arms stretching out, pleading, "Take me about
I need hope, I need you to need me"

"Who will bless us?
Who'll do what we must?"
But blessed is he who gives a homeless child a home

(A child waits somewhere)
A child is waiting for you somewhere
(A child waits with love to share)
A child is waiting with love to share
And the joy that will come when two hearts become one
Wait no more, lonely child, I'll be there

(Wait no more) Wait no more, lonely child, I'll be there
(Wait no more) Wait no more, lonely child, I'll be there
(Wait no more) Wait no more, lonely child, I'll be there
(Wait no more) Wait no more, lonely child, I'll be there
(Wait)
