2 Children, 1973

2 little children--naïve as could be,
Playing on a green hill--laughing at the sun,
2 little children--one a boy and one a girl,
Wishing life were as happy as that moment in time.


2 little children--growing up to adulthood,
Seeing the world around them,
2 little children--trying to survive,
Calling back on memories and crying all the time.


Looking at war and pollution,
Looking at crime in the streets,
Looking straight ahead--nothing to live for,
Nothing but love for you and me.


2 little children--loving each other,
2 little children--letting the world go by,
But seeing the sunset of life all around them,
And asking where has their love gone?


It's been gone too long.
