We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers
    Wishing our families well
    We sing songs for the wishing, of those who are kissing
    But not for the missing
    
    [CHORUS 1]
    So this one's for all the lost children
    This one's for all the lost children
    This one's for all the lost children, wishing them well
    And wishing them home
    
    When you sit there addressing, counting your blessings
    Biding your time
    When you lay me down sleeping and my heart is weeping
    Because I'm keeping a place
    
    [CHORUS 2]
    For all the lost children
    This is for all the lost children
    This one's for all the lost children, wishing them well
    And wishing them home
    
    Home with their fathers,
    Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
    I see the door simply wide open
    But no one can find thee
    
    [CHORUS 3]
    So pray for all the lost children
    Let's pray for all the lost children
    Just think of all the lost children, wishing them well
    This is for all the lost children
    This one's for all the lost children
    Just think of all the lost children
    Wishing them well, and wishing them home
