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 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 weeping
Because I'm keeping a place
For all the lost children
This is 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 and warm
loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But 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 children
wishing them well
This is for all the lost children
This one's for all the lost children
Just think of all the lost children
Wishing them well
and wishing them home
