Текст песни Children - 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...
