  A
When
              C
When will the icicle melt,
The icicle, icicle
      A
And when
               C
When will the picture show end

A                           C
I should not have read the paper today
           A
'Cause a child, child, child, child
        C
he was taken away

Chorus:
C                       Am
There's a place for the baby that died
C                        Am
And there's time for the mother who cried
C                        Am
And she will hold him in her arm sometim
C                      Am
'Cause nine months is too long,
too long, too long

How
How could you hurt a child?
How could you hurt a child?
Now does this make you satisfied,
satisfied, satisfied?

I don't know what's happening to people today
When a child, child, child, child
He was taken away (taken away)
