Where are the children we lost not long ago
Feel for the Mothers who weep for them
I pray for the Fathers who were standing by their side
In their world of pain and suffering
Haven't you ever seen the look in a hungry child's eyes
They can't eat money or promises
Give them your smile and try holding out your hand
Let them know you're there, let them know you're there
(Chorus)
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why do must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul
You can swim in a river of tears they cry
For they sleep on the winds of uncertainty
Show us a sign you make us believe again
There's no other way, oh, there's no other way
(Chorus)
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why do must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
For it comforts you
Oh it comforts you
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why do must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul
Speaks when you're alone
Speaks when you're alone
Speaks when you're alone
Cause you couldn't see
You can't come home
From the top of your heart
Speaks when you're alone
Cause you couldn't see
Speaks when you're alone
From the top of your heart
Speaks when you're alone
And you couldn't see
You can't come home
From the bottom of your soul
Speaks when you're alone
As you couldn't see
You can't come home
From the bottom of your soul
