The Lost Children - Lyrics

We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers
Wishing our families well
We sing songs for the wishing, of those who are kissing
But not for the missing

[CHORUS 1]
So this one’s for all the lost children
This one’s for all the lost children
This one’s for all the lost children, wishing them well
And wishing them home

When you sit there addressing, counting your blessings
Biding your time
When you lay me down sleeping and my heart is weeping
Because I’m keeping a place

[CHORUS 2]
For all the lost children
This is for all the lost children
This one’s for all the lost children, wishing them well
And wishing them home

Home with their fathers,
Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But no one can find thee

[CHORUS 3]
So pray for all the lost children
Let’s pray for all the lost children
Just think of all the lost children, wishing them well
This is for all the lost children
This one’s for all the lost children
Just think of all the lost children
Wishing them well, and wishing them home

Malheureusement beaucoup des chansons de Michael ne sont pas appréciées a leurs juste valeurs... surtout dans l'album Invincible (qui est soit dit en passant mon album préféré)et The Lost Children fait partit de ces chansons elle est magnifique, parfaite et elle est chantée si bien

Quelle magnifique chanson ! J'ai tellement de peine qu'elle ne soit pas reconnue à sa juste valeur, tout cela à cause de vautours...
Une chanson qui devrait figurer au rang des plus grands hymnes populaires et classiques.

Michael Jackson, je t'admire et je t'aime pour l'éternité !

p.s. Merci MJ Radio pour votre existence !

Très belle chanson, je la fredonne souvnet et je l'écoute pour m'endormir, comme si Michael me chantait une berçeuse... J'adore entendre ses enfants qui jouent à cache-cache, ils sont trop mignons ! Merci Michael, t'es trop fort !!
