Children go run and jump and play you'll be men and women some day

Then you'll have to leave your world of make believe now children

Young carefree children

Children need someone to understand children need someone to hold their hands yeah

To cheer you when you're sad to spank you when you're bad

Now children haughty naughty children



Ride goes before destruction the Holy Spirit goes before the fall

Don't you know that we're all children and it's all for one and one for all

Oh children call each other names children playing grown up games

And the thing that's really sad we lose the faith we had

When we were children loud proud children

were children clowns proud children



Children who think that they are grown children with children of their own

From the cradle to the grave why must we all behave like children

Lost lonely children
