Tuesdays Suzie goes from school right to her soccer game
She doesn’t know she’s lucky that for some it’s not the same
On another side of the world Suhail seldom gets to play
Cause she works in a factory nearly every day.
Free the children... to be the children once again
Know the difference ... you could make for some of them
Use the power ... of your choices and your pen ...
Kids can free the children of the world ... to be children once again.
There are things that we take for
granted that for some are only dreams
And the world may be exotic but it isn’t all it seems
It’s true that other cultures ar
en’t the same as what we know
But kids are still just kids
no matter where it is you go.
Free the children... to be the children once again
Know the difference ... you could make for some of them
Use the power ... of your mind and hands ...
Kids can free the children of the world ... to be children once again.
If kids will raise their voices other kids won’t feel alone
And kids can help free the children round the world ... and here at home.
Free the children... to be the children once again
Know the difference ... you could make for some of them
Use the power ... of your choices and your pen ...
Kids can free the children of the world
Free the children... to be the children once again
Know the difference ... you could make for some of them
Use the power ... of your mind and hands ...
Kids can free the children of the world ... to be children ... once again.

Free The Children was written by Neil Taylor, Keith Macpherson and Renee Lamoureux. The song was inspired during a guitar lesson that Keith was giving to Neil. One day, Neil showed up with the lyrics to this song, after being inspired by the story and work of human rights activist, Craig Kielburger of Free The Children. The song is dedicatied to iqbal masih, a former child laborer, who was murdered at the age of ten years old for speaking out about Child Labor. The song is in celebration of Craig Kielburger's work with Canadian charity, Free The Children.
