Melvin Van Peebles - Where Are the Children download song

Lyrics

How they grow
How they’ve grown
Once their universe was the width of this waist
Soon they will be gone, zip, just gone
Out in the world where everything is tinted hate
Let them always be safe and warm
Is that so much to pray?
(Where are the children) Where are the children
All runny runny feet and runny nose
(Where are the children) Where are the children
The weed they brought they thought was a rose
Please keep them safe from harm
(Where are the children) Where are the children
Once their world was in the fold of these arms
(Where are the children) Where are the children
And let them always be sunny and warm
Is that so much to pray?
No thunder and lightning to run from or to scatter
To darken the way
If only if from a first smile
You could say there’ll be millions more everyday
Anway (Anyway)
(Where are the children) Where are the children
And they’ll be frosted window panes, flowers rain
(Where are the children) Where are the children
There will be kisses, moonlit meadows, June
Is that so much to pray?
