I see the kids in the street
with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
pretending not to see
their needs?
a summer's disregard
a broken bottle top
and I want them so

The story:

I was singing it to my friend, who luckily had misheard the same thing. We found the correct lyrics online, and the song finally made sense, even in light of everything that's been going on with Michael Jackson and children.
