  1. We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers

  2. Wishing our families well

  3. We sing songs for the wishing, of those who are kissing

  4. But not for the missing

  5. So this one's for all the lost children

  6. This one's for all the lost children

  7. This one's for all the lost children, wishing them well

  8. And wishing them home

  1. When you sit there addressing, counting your blessings

  2. Biding your time

  3. When you lay me down sleeping and my heart is weeping

  4. Because I'm keeping a place

  5. For all the lost children

  6. This is for all the lost children

  7. This one's for all the lost children, wishing them well

  8. And wishing them home

  9. Home with their fathers

  10. Snug close and warm, loving their mothers

  11. I see the door simply wide open

  12. But no one can find thee

  13. So pray for all the lost children

  14. Let's pray for all the lost children

  15. Just think of all the lost children, wishing them well

  16. This is for all the lost children

  17. This one's for all the lost children

  18. Just think of all the lost children

  19. Wishing them well, and wishing them home

  20. 85, 90, 95, 100

  21. Here I come, ready or not

  22. Last one into the forest is a rotten apple

  23. It's so quiet in the forest

  24. Look at all the trees

  25. And all the lovely flowers

  26. It's getting dark

  27. I think we better go home now

The Lost Children

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

85, 90, 95, 100

Here I come, ready or not

Last one into the forest is a rotten apple

It's so quiet in the forest

Look at all the trees

And all the lovely flowers

It's getting dark

I think we better go home now
