What About the Children

Tears streaming down, her heart is broken

Because her life 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 say

As I sound aloud the warfare of today

Hear me, I pray

What about the children?

To ignore is so easy

So many innocent children

Would 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?

Sir, where is your son? Where lies his refuge?

And if he can't come to you, then where can he run?

Such a foolish girl, yet still she's your daughter

And if you will just reminisce your days of 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

And what about the children?

To ignore is so easy

So many innocent children

Would choose the wrong way

Yes, 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?

Don't just turn and walk away

What about the children?

They need our love and our help today

Yes, 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?

Where would we be today?

Where would we be today?

What about the children?
