CHILD LABOUR
Imagine not being able to move
In the same spot, In the same groove
Not knowing when you'll be free
Your heart is searching for a moment of glee
That's Child Labor

Imagine not being able to eat 3 meals a day
You never get a chance to play
The money you make is less then a dollar
Like you're hooked by a collar
That's Child Labor

You feel like your life is over
Like you will never find your 4-leaf clover
There's nothing for you to remember
But your work as a Child Laborer
That's Child Labor

Don't worry you'll be free
You'll see
We are all helping you
Just belive
That's why we're here
Don't fear
That's why we're fighting Child Labor
