The lost children
We pray for our fathers,pray for our mothers,wishing our families well.We sing songs for the wishing,of those who are kissing,but not for the missing...
So this one’s forall the lost children.This one’s for allthe lost children.This one’s for allthe lost children,wishing them well,and wishing them home.
When you sit there addressing,counting your blessings.Biding your time!When you lay me down sleeping,my heart is weepingbecause I’m keeping a placefor all the lost children...
Home, with their fathers.Snug close and warm,loving their mothers.I see the door simply wide openbut no one can find thee.
So pray for all the lost children.Let’s pray for all the lost children.Just think of all the lost childrenwishing them well.This is for all the lost children...This one’s for all the lost children...Just think of all the lost childrenwishing them well,and wishing them home.
