[Chorus]
But in our children lies the wisdom of the years
And our children reflect our loves and hopes and fears
And we leave nothing on this planet when we're gone
But our children

Too many children grow up in a home where there's no love
Precious products of a moment's careless pleasure
And parents who were battered children
Strike out in their turn
Destroying love and maiming this life's greatest treasure

[Repeat Chorus]

Children who are wanted and children who are loved
Can learn to love and cherish life and one another
And though tomorrow may seem grim with the predicaments we're in
The light of hope still glimmers on when there are children

[Repeat Chorus]

For we are children
We seek the wisdom of the years
We are children
And we have loves and hopes and fears
We leave nothing on this planet
But what we've done
For all children
