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
