Children Lyrics by Jeannie C. Riley

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
We're 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
