CHILDREN

Children, children What do we do for our children We have them and love them With all our might And we tuck them up safely In bed at night We tell them the way To the land of Nod And the things they should say When they talk to God Children, children What do we do to our children We hold them and love them And we worry and fuss May the world be much kinder To them than us We pray every day They'll be strong and tall God bless the children God bless them all They only grow up And they leave one day And they blame us for taking Their dreams away And the houses are empty These were beautiful places When they were born Children, children What can you say about children Who knows where Their childhood ends Or when it ends Just why you drift apart I only know That they never leave your heart
