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
