(It will be a better world for a little girl) Mommy, I'm scared by all that I see When we go out or watch the TV People are mean, they fight and they lie, tell me why When I grow up, and you are gone And I must go out all on my own What will I do, 'cause I am not strong at all? Oh Mommy, it's so bad out there I think that I'll be really scared Can't you stay with me always And keep the bad people away? Can't the good men win instead Like in the stories that we've read? Can't it be a better world for a little girl? The city has so much dirt and noise Why do the wars kill all the boys? When Bobby grows up, will he have to go and die? Mary's dad left her and her mom Who will take care of them from now on? Will our daddy stay? Are you also afraid at night? Oh darling, yes, it's bad out there And sometimes, even I am scared But Jesus has a special plan He holds the world within His hands Though it's now run by evil men Very soon, His love will win And it will be a better world For a little girl Oh darling, yes, it's bad out there And sometimes, even I am scared That Jesus has a special plan He holds the world within His hands Though it's now run by evil men Very soon, His love will win And it will be a better world For a little girl For a little girl For a little girl
