Little Child Lost

Why are you wandering
So late at night
(alone
alone)
Where are you going
with eyes devoid of light
(alone
alone)
Little child…

(Little lost child)
Where are you going
(Little lost child)
with a knife and a gun
(Little lost child)
Where are you running
(Little lost child)
Can't you find your way home?

Were you hurt
when that building collapsed
(alone
alone)
Where is the little girl
that I saw you with
(alone
alone)
Why are you carrying
her dog and her bear
(alone
alone)
Is she now lost
just like you are?

(Little lost child)
Where are you going
(Little lost child)
with a knife and a gun
(Little lost child)
Where are you running
(Little lost child)
Can't you find your way home?

Why are you crying
where is your friend
(alone
alone)
This place smell of sickness
was that his end
(alone
alone)
Where are your parents
Where is your home
(alone
alone)
Why are you stealing
Is it because you're alone?

(Little lost boy)
Where are you going
(Little lost boy)
with a knife and a gun
(Little lost boy)
Where are you running
(Little lost boy)
Can't you find your way home?

Now you're in a group
with children like you
(alone
alone)
You are war machines
your inner selves true
(alone
alone)
But you're still alone
No one has any friends
(alone
alone)
Because none of you know
if this ever ends

(Little lost boy)
Where are you going
(Little lost boy)
with a knife and a gun
(Little lost boy)
Where are you running
(Little lost boy)
Can't you find your way home?

You look so tired
why do you keep killing
(alone
alone)
Do they understand-
the people you're helping
(alone
alone)
Or do they hate you
and turn far away
(alone
alone)
When you're afraid and alone
who can you save?

(Little lost boys)
Where are you going
(Little lost boys)
with a knife and a gun
(Little lost boys)
Where are you running
(Little lost boys)
Can't you find your way home?

Now you've found each other
in the endless dark
(alone
alone)
You're afraid of touching
in the midst of war
(alone
alone)
But touch you do
so far removed from home
(alone
alone)
You may still be lost
but no longer alone…

(Little lost children)
Where are you going
(Little lost children)
with your knives and your guns
(Little lost children)
Where are you running
(Little lost children)
Side by side, hand in hand…

(Little lost children)
Where are you running
(Little lost children)
Side by side, hand in hand…
