Children

[Verse 1]
Children
Go and run and jump and play
You'll be
Men and women some day
Then you'll have to leave
Your world of make-believe
Now, children

Need someone to hold their hands, yeah
To cheer you when you're sad
To spank you when you're bad, now
Children

Pride goes before destruction
A Holy Spirit goes before a fall
Don't you know that we're all children
And it's all for one and one for all, mm-hmm

[Verse 3]
Children (Children)
Call each other names
Children
Playin' grown-up games
And the thing that's really sad
We lose the faith we had
When we were children mm-hmm

Proud (Children)
Children

[Verse 4]
Children (Children)
Who think that they are grown
Children
With children of their own
From the cradle to the grave
Why must we all behave like
Children? (Na-na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na)

Young, carefree
