Children Of Sanchez

Chuck Mangione

Without dreams of hope and pride a man will die

Though his flesh still moves his heart sleeps in the grave

Without land man never dreams cause he's not free

All men need a place to live with dignity.

Take the crumbs from starving soldiers, They won't die

Lord said not by bread alone does man survive

Take the food from hungry children, they won't cry

Food alone won't ease the hunger in their eyes.



Every child belongs to mankind's family

Children are the fruit of all humanity

Let them feel the love of all the human race

Touch them with the warmth, the strength of that embrace.



Give me love and understanding, I will thrive

As my children grow my dreams come alive

Those who hear the cries of children. God will bless

I will always hear the Children of Sánchez.
