Children Lyrics - Singles - 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 

were 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
