Yolanda Adams - What About the Children Lyrics

Tears streaming down, her heart is broken
Because her life is hurting, so am I
He wears a frown, his dreams are choking
And because he stands alone, his dreams will die

So, humbly I come to you and say
As I sound aloud the warfare of today
Hear me, I pray

What about the children to ignore is so easy
So many innocent children would choose the wrong way
So what about the children remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today

Sir, where is your son, where lies his refuge
And if he can't come to you, then where can he run
Such a foolish girl, yet still, she's your daughter
And if you will just reminisce your days of young

You see, it's not where you've been, nor what you've done
Because I know a friend who specializes in great outcomes
See His love overcomes

What about the children to ignore is so easy
So many innocent children would choose the wrong way
Yes what about the children remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today

What about the children don't just turn and walkaway
What about the children they need our love and our help today, yes
What about the children remember when we were children
And if not for those who loved us and who cared enough to show us
Where would we be today

Where would we be today
Where would we be today
What about the the children
