Living in the streets.
Living in the streets, c'mon!
Living in the streets.
Don't turn your back, c'mon now!

Rise 1:
Streetkids in every city, and they are kids like you
and me, kids like you and me. Give them a voice, and
a choice, 'cause they are kids like you and me, kids like
you and me.

Kids like you and me, kids like you and me!
Kids like you and me, kids like you and me!
Rap 1:
Listen up, push it down, this goes out to the kids in your
town. Walking around with their head down, why, oh why no
house to be found? Yes, they gotta feel, and they must steal.
Listen to my rap, it shows the deal. Boy or girl with it straight
or a curl, all you and me's up in this world. No more ifs, I say no
more maybes, help them out, and save the little babies.
Let your wallet ring, let the children sing. Help them stop (unclear)

Rise 2:
'Cause they don't have a choice, don't have a voice, and no respect!
No house, no home, no love; don't turn your back. Can you imagine
yourself in the same sort of situation? It's up to me and you do what
you got to do! Yeah!

Rise 1

Wanna give it up, give it in, give it up, give it out, give it all.
Wanna give it up, give it in, give it up, give it out, give it all.
I wanna give it up, give it in, give it up, give it out, give it...all.

Rap 2:
You've gots to make it, no time to fake it, put your hands together.
Start operating. The kids of poor sleep on the floor. Help them, please
I can't take it no more! We gotta take care of the kids, you see, look out for the ones in poverty.
Nowaways, yes, they need more attention. Peace and love to the the kids that I've mentioned.

Rise 1

There must be something we can do, you know it's up to me and you. You
know it's up to me and you. There must be something we can do, it's up
to me and you. Now it's up to me and you. There must be something we
can do.

Kids like you and me!
