Where are the children
we lost not long ago
Feel for the Mothers
who weep for them
I pray for the Fathers
who are standing by their side
In their world of pain
and suffering
Have you ever seen the look
in a hungry child's eyes
They can't eat money
or promises
Give them your smile
and try holding out your hand
Let them know you're there,
let them know you're there
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul
You can swim in a river
of tears they cry
For they sleep on the winds
of uncertainty
Show us a sign
and make us believe again
There's no other way,
oh, there's no other way
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul
instrumental
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul
