    Proceeds from the sale of the single will go towards the Mana Ririki Charity and their work in preventing child abuse & promoting positive parenting in NZ. Would love your support.
    A big thank you to Rio Panapa (Sons Of Zion) & Avina Kelekolio (Tomorrow People) for coming up with the idea. Also to Dilworth from Herbs for allowing the A.R.A.S to cover such a classic song. And of course all the artists who didn't hesitate to offer their beautiful voices.

    Charlie would be proud of this version. I was lucky enough to have called NZ home and living there in the late 80s I fell in love with the talent from this pacific paradise, Herbs, When the cats away, and many many more.

They are interesting little beings and very talented if given the chance to express themselves..they are simple and only wont to be loved..how hard is that? This song reflects that..awesome song:-)

    I'm a lover who can understand what it's like to be nothing so I'm not one to judge or make someone feel outcasted were all a human just some are faking it cos the don't no who tha are and follow.a smile is the best way to understand a person. real peaple are sensitive to a smile if tha don't have a negative internal motive for you tha smile cos there nature is sensitive.so keep smiling and remember a smile speaks for it self. It's the only body language expressing the loving nature and that's all u need my freinds...keep smile I am😊

    There comes a time in everyone's life
    No room for mistrust, no room for hate
    Open up your heart, don't look away
    Quality in life that's hard to find
    Like a child with an open mind
    Tenderness, sensitive to a smile
    Beautiful children have come into my life
    Beautiful people, oh young and bright
    Beautiful children, longing for life
    Worldly people, take away the night
    These are the feelings from our hearts
    There's no trade for love and affection
    Love for me and love for you
    So make a stand and hold your ground
    And maybe the world will turn around
    Peace and love and harmony
    Beautiful children have come into my life
    Beautiful people, oh young and bright
    Beautiful children, longing for life
    Worldly people, take away, take away
    Moving out in love together
    We will never shed no tears
    Love for them is love for all

    In terms of people that have negativity toward this need to get a life or wake up. Our people struggle because when we as people try to do something positive in life its us who bring our own down, who cares if they are singing in the jamaican accent??? They are using their talents to pave positive paths for our young and giving them inspiration to also shine their talents!!! IT NEEDS TO STOP, WE ARE WORTH MORE THEN SHOOTING DOWN OUR OWN PEOPLE FOR TRYING!
