[Verse 1]
Mother swears we started right
Went to school those tucked in nights
All of life ahead of us
Post war babies
Running free, time to think
Air to breathe
No tragedy to miss the bus
[Chorus]
Where are the children? Where are they now?
Could they have given in they once were so proud
Where are the dreamers? Lost on the way
Where are the childrеn of yesterday?
[Verse 2]
Now we sing a diffеrent tune
Sales to pitch and lawyers prove
Getting by we're so confused
A way to think, a way to dress
The only love that we invest
Is in ourselves the heart we lose
[Chorus]
Where are the children? Where are they now?
Could they have given in they once were so proud
Where are the dreamers? Lost on the way
Where are the children of yesterday?
[Bridge]
You're way back when, a child again!
We played to win or lose
Foe or friend
We make amends
Apart but hand in hand
[Verse 3]
Somewhere lies our innocence, a heart that fills with reverance
(Are we) strong enough to stand alone?
We look inside to find the smile
The one that says it is worthwhile
Love for all begins at home
[Chorus]
Where are the children? Where are they now?
Could they have given in they once were so proud
Where are the dreamers? Lost on the way
Where are the children of yesterday?
[Bridge]
You're way back when, a child again!
We played to win or lose
Foe or friend
We make amends
Apart but hand in hand
[Chorus]
Where are the children? Where are they now?
Could they have given in they once were so proud
Where are the dreamers? Lost on the way
Where are the children of yesterday?
[Solo]
I lay with you
We walk I follow
Wonder of it all
Wait for me in time I will recall
[Chorus]
Where are the children? Where are they now?
Could they have given in they once were so proud
Where are the dreamers? Lost on the way
Where are the children of yesterday?
