Look carefully, if you really care;
You'll see their faces on a flyer somewhere!
In unexpected places like the grocery store;
On the back of a milk carton,
There are many more!
Where are the children?
Those stolen ... kidnapped ... or lost!
Some parents want them back,
No matter what the cost!
Where are the children?
Runaways ... drug addicts ... in fear!
Running the streets without shedding a tear!
Not loved at home, told they're in the way.
Feeling unwanted, they wander and stray!
Where are the children?
Prostitution ... slaves ... dead?
Question never answered...?
Sleeping on cardboard for a bed!
Oh God! Have mercy! Many tears are shed!
Where are the children?
