THE D.A.R.E. SONG

THE WORLD'S A DIFFERENT PLACE
WHERE LIFE'S BECOME A RACE
AND UNLIKE THE WORLD OF PAST
OUR KIDS GROW UP TOO FAST
'CAUSE WHAT THEY SEE IN STORE
IS THREATS OF BOMBS AND WAR
AND THAT DEADLY GAME THEY'RE TAUGHT
THAT HAPPINESS IS BOUGHT
SO THE CHILDREN OF TODAY
HAVE NO TIME FOR CHILD'S PLAY
AND THEY FEEL THEY'RE ALL ALONE
EVEN STRANGERS IN THEIR HOME
SO TO HIDE THEIR PAIN AND TEARS
THEY DESTROY THEIR YOUTHFUL YEARS
GIVING UP ON LOVE AND HUGS
AND ESCAPING INTO DRUGS
AND IF WE SAY THAT WE WON'T HELP
BECAUSE THE PROBLEM ISN'T MINE
THEN IT'S MORE THAN JUST A SHAME
OUR LACK OF CARING IS A CRIME ...SO (CHORUS)

DARE TO KEEP A KID OFF DRUGS
DARE TO KEEP A KID OFF DOPE
DARE TO GIVE A KID SOME HELP
DARE TO GIVE A KID SOME HOPE
HELP US!
