She wakes up in the morning with the new sunrise

Looks at her husband sleeping still inside she cries

She makes the children breakfast

Gets them on their way

Watching them through the wind

She prepares to face another day

Then her husband tells her

That he won't be home 'til late

There's so much work

He'll have to stay behind

But she knows it isn't work that's on his mind

But still he'll never leave

'Cause what would the children think

Where would the children go?

What would the children do?

If they knew the way it was

But they'll never learn because

What would the children think?

Where would the children think?

At the gate she kissed him

And watched him walk

Hoping this small charade

Will stop the neighbors talk

She turns to hide a tear

Inside her gilded cage

She cries for the love she could not hold

And lost to someone half her

Then her pride and breakin' heart

Tell her to run away

But she values what she's got a little more

Two kids, one 9 and nearly 4

And she would never leave them cause

What would the children think?

Where would the children go?

What would the children?

f they knew the way it was

But they'll never learn because

What would the children think?

Where would the children think?

What would the children think?

Where would the children go?

What would the children do?
