In 2012 more than 500 million children were economically exploited.
It’s still a huge challenge to free them.
Global Friends Music will give half of all revenues for this song directly to proactivists and movements in the affected regions to support their fight against child labour. (50% will go to the artists to produce more songs against child labour.)
The children need your support !NOW

Lyrics:
My name is child
ten years alive
they say it’s my birthday – today
breakfast won’t come,
but master’s calling
I got to go
My father sold me
when I was four
my mother told me
hmmmm – „You’ll be back home soon“
but I’m still waiting here to get out
Can someone get me out of here
I am just a child
Can someone stop my tears and fear
let me be a child
Can someone take me home to Mum
I am just her child
free me
My name is child
I’m just a slave
my bleeding feet are killing me
My little hands burn like fire
but master’s shouting
I got to work on
The whole life hurts
I can’t take anymore
at home I would play with my friends —-
and Mum would give me a hug
but master’s screaming I gotta stop my dream
Can someone get me out of here
I am just a child
Can someone stop my tears and fear
let me be a child
Can someone bring me home to Mum
I am just her child
free me
