Do You Know Where Your Children Are - Lyrics

Father comes home from work and he's scared to death
Mother cries on the kid and the note she read
Father runs to the table, he said "What's going on?"
Mother cries desperately "Our little baby's gone!"

Do you know where your children are
Because it's now 12 o'clock
If they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are

Do you know where your children are
Because it's now 12 o'clock
If they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are

She wrote that she is tired of step-daddy using her
Saying that he'll buy her things, while sexually abusing her
Just think that she's all alone somewhere out on the street
How will this girl survive? She ain't got nothing to eat!

Do you know where your children are
Because it's now 12 o'clock
If they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are

Do you know where your children are
Because it's now 12 o'clock
If they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are

[Bridge]

(C'mon)

Save me from this living hell
Save me, 'cause I don't wanna do
Save me, I'm tired of dad
Save me, 'cause this is enough
Save me, 'cause I'm on the verge
Save me, 'cause I don't wanna go
Save me, 'cause terror is rising
Save me, Aoow

Now she's on the move, she's off to Hollywood
She says she wanna be a star, she heard the money's good
She gets off from train station, a man is waiting there
"I'll show you what the money is, girl, just let down your hair"
He's taking her on the streets of Sunset Boulevard
She's selling her body half, girl, that they take her for
The police come out the corner, [somebody’s there too old ?]
He's arresting this little girl, she's only 12 years old!

Do you know where your children are
Because it's now 12 o'clock
If they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are

Do you know where your children are
Because it's now 12 o'clock
If they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are

[Repeat]
