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 dieSo, humbly I come to you and say
As I sound aloud the warfare of today
Hear me, I prayWhat about the children?
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children
Would choose the wrong waySo 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 youngYou 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 overcomesAnd what about the children?
To ignore is so easy
So many innocent children
Would choose the wrong wayYes, 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 todayYes, 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?
