[Verse 1]
You go where the wind blows, leading the life you chose
Your destination remains unknown
No one to help you, nobody cares about you
You're looking for someplace you can call home

[Refrain]
Lonely children on the run
Lonely children need someone

[Verse 2]
Too many questions, you need to answer to them
Your information is so incomplete
You seek directions, you would be lost without them
Don't let them find you lying in the street

[Refrain]
Lonely children on the run
Lonely children need someone

[Bridge]
Someone to talk to
Someone who cares
Someone who listens
Is anyone there?
[Verse 3]
They may detest you, someday they may arrest you
They stop at nothing to hold you down
You need to be free, but will they ever let you?
They won't be happy 'til you leave town

[Refrain]
Lonely children on the run
(We're all on the run)
Lonely children need someone
(They need someone)

[Outro]
Lonely children in the night (Can you see the children?)
Lonely children need a guiding light (And don't forget)
Lonely children all alone
Lonely children have no home
Lonely children on the run
Hope someday there'll be someone
(Lonely, lonely children)
