While the children are sleeping

I lie awake just thinking about you

And while the children are going off to school

I wonder why I was such a fool

To ever let it go this far

So darling where ever you are, come back



[Chorus:]

And save the children

If not for me, do it for them

Save the little children

Don't make them suffer

For our sins



Don't leave them daddyless

Just cause we can't get it right

I know we could clean up this mess

If you could just see them sleeping tonight



I was such a fool

To ever let it go this far

So darling where ever you are, come back



[Chorus]



Save the little children
