Where have all of our children gone?
Innocent of all, the world that's so bad
It's no wonder that it's so wrong
When they are alone, in truth they aren't that strong
Children, children
Expectations great and small, from afar we see them fall
Children, sweet children
Who'll be watching out for you, who'll be there
To guide you through?
Where have all of the children gone?
Thought to be a ware of dangers out there
In the streets and in the schools, in a world so cruel
Who keeps changing all the rules
Children, children
Expectations great and small, from afar we see them fall
Children, sweet children
Who'll be watching out for you, who'll be there
To guide you through?
Where are all of our children now?
Some hungry abused neglected confused
Hey, little girl, is your mama home? No, I'm all alone
These are the words that say it all
Children, who'll be watching out for you
Who'll be there to guide you through
