Children go run and jump and play you'll be men and women some day
|
Then you'll have to leave your world of make believe now children
|
Young carefree children
|
Children need someone to understand children need someone to hold their hands yeah
|
To cheer you when you're sad to spank you when you're bad
|
Now children haughty naughty children
|
|
Ride goes before destruction the Holy Spirit goes before the fall
|
Don't you know that we're all children and it's all for one and one for all
|
Oh children call each other names children playing grown up games
|
And the thing that's really sad we lose the faith we had
|
When we were children loud proud children
|
were children clowns proud children
|
|
Children who think that they are grown children with children of their own
|
From the cradle to the grave why must we all behave like children
|
Lost lonely children
|
