The Lost Children

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;

(Chorus 1)

So this one's for all the lost children;

This one's for all the lost children;

This one's for all the 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 and my heart is weeing;

Because I'm keeping a place;

(Chorus 2)

For all the lost children;

This one's for all the lost children;

This one's for all the lost children, Wishing them well;

and wishing them home;

Home with their fathers;

snug close & warm, loving their mothers;

I see the door simply wide open;

but no one can find thee;

(Chorus 3)

So pray for all the lost children;

Let's pray for all the lost children;

Just think of all the lost children, Wishing them well;

and wishing them home;
