Worst Lyrics on Justin Bieber’s Song About the Children

[Verse]

What about the children?

Look at all the children we can change

What about a vision?

Be a visionary for a change

We’re the generation

Who’s gonna be the one to fight for it?

We’re the inspiration

Do you believe enough to die for it?

[Chorus]

Who’s got the heart? Who’s got it?

Whose heart is the biggest?

Wear it on your sleeve

Bet we can make a difference

Who’s got the heart? Who’s got it?

Whose heart is the biggest?

Wear it on your sleeve

Bet we can make a difference

Oh yeah

Who’s got the heart?

Oh yeah

Who’s got the heart?

Oh yeah
