what about the children?

tears streaming down

her heart is broken

and because her heart is hurting

so am i

he wears a frown

his dreams are choking

and because he stands alone

his dreams will die

so

humbly i come to you and i say

as i sound aloud the warfare of today

please hear me

i pray

what about the children

to ignore is so easy

so many innocent children will choose the wrong way

so what about the children

remember when we were children

and if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us

where would we be today

so

where is your son

and where lies his refuge

and if that young man can't come to you

then where can that young man run to

she's such a foolish foolish girl

yet still

she's your daughter

and if you will just reminisce on all the crazy things that you did when you were that young

you see

it's not where you've been

nor what you've done

because i know a friend who specializes in great outcomes

see his love overcomes

what about the children

to ignore is so easy

so many innocent children will choose the wrong way

so what about the children

remember when we were children

and if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us

where would we be today. what about the children they need our help today

and what about the children they need us

more than ever more than ever more than ever

what about the childen where would we be today

where would we be today

what about the children

where would we be today

where would we be today

where would we be today

what about the the children
