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

Lonely children on the run
Lonely children need someone

Too many questions, you need to answer to them
You seek directions, you would be lost without them
Don't let them find you lying in the street

Lonely children on the run
Lonely children, lonely, need someone

Someone to talk to
Someone who cares
Someone who listens
Is anyone there?

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 till you leave town

Lonely children on the run, run on the run
Lonely children need someone, need someone
Lonely children in the night, can't see the light
Lonely children need a guiding light, 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
