The Lost Children
"We
are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most
vulnerable section of society.
The children of the universe are without
a spokesperson, they are voiceless…
We are all touched by the
atrocities committed against children: sexual, physical abuse, child
slave labor, educational neglect.
We feel ashamed. Angry. Appalled.
But there is no action….No action."
– Michael Jackson, South Africa, May 1998

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
Chorus 1:
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
Chorus 2:
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 homehome with their fathers,
Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But no one can find thee
Chorus 3:
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
