She wakes up in the morning with the new sunrise

Looks at her husband sleeping still, inside she cries

She makes the children breakfast, gets them on their way

Watching them through the window, she prepares to face another day



Then her husband tells her that he won't be home till late

There's so much work, he'll have to stay behind

But she knows it isn't work that's on his mind

But still he'd never leave her - 'cos



Chorus:

What would the children think, where would the children go

What would the children do

If they knew the way it was, but they'll never learn because

What would the children think, where would the children go



At the gate she kisses him and watches him walk

Hoping this small charade will stop the neighbors' talk

She turns to hide a tear, inside her gilded cage

She cries for the love she could not hold, and lost to someone half her age



Then her pride and breaking heart tell her to run away

But she values what she's got a little more

Two kids, one nine and one nearly four, and she would never leave them, 'cos



chorus



What would the children think, where would the children go

What would the children do, where would the children go

(repeats out)
