Suffer little children to come unto me 
Words from two thousand years ago 
Spoken by the greatest Philosopher 
The world will ever know. 

And still the children suffer 
Despite the plea in his name 
Hollow of cheek and wide of eye 
In a world of need and shame 

Pictures flash across our screen 
Of a child at a mothers breast 
A mother that has no milk to give 
The result --- you will have guessed. 

From South America to Africa 
The need is still the same 
OH! Children in Need your needs are not met 
And that is an awful shame.
