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
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
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
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
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
|
