                  Am                      G
You go where the wind blows, leading the life
you chose
          Am                 E
Your destination remains unknown
           Am               G
No one to help you, nobody cares about you
                    Am                     Em
You're looking for someplace you can call home

Chorus:
Em
Lonely children on the run
Lonely children need someone

Too many questions, you need to answer to them
Your information is so incomplete
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 need someone

                 C D G D
Someone to talk to
             C   D G D
Someone who cares
                C  D G D
Someone who listens
            C   D G D
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 'til you leave town

Lonely children on the run
(We're all on the run)
Lonely children need someone
(They need someone)

Chorus:
Lonely children in the night
(Can you see the children?)
Lonely children need a guiding light
(And 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)
