Children Lyrics - Classic Masters - Joe South

Children 

Go and run and jump and play 

You'll be 

Men and women someday 

Then you'll have to leave 

Your world of make believe 

Now children 

Young (children) 

Carefree (children) 

Children 

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 (children) 

Naughty (children) 

Children 

Pride goes before destruction 

A holy spirit goes before a fall 

Don't you know that we're all children 

And it's all for one and one for all mmm 

Children (children) 

Call each other names 

Children 

Playing grown-up games 

And the things that's really sad 

We lose the faith we had 

When we were children 

Loud (children) 

Proud (children) 

Children 

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 (na na na na na na na na na na na na) 

Lost (children) 

Lonely (children) 

Children 

Lost 

Lonely 

Children 

Young 

Carefree 

Children 

Growing 

Young 

Children 

Lost 

Lonely 

Children
