Children, little children
We tried to do our best
We were little children
We made mistakes like all the rest
Flush, you'll call to Eric's shelter
Flying bomb to helter skelter
Times may change, the children really do
Wait a while you'll all be grown up
With the smile you'll have to hold up
You don't know what kids are coming to
Children, little children
We tried to do our best
We were little children
We made mistakes like all the rest
Hospitals and midnight dashes
Swallow things and nappy rashes
Funny feet too small to stand on
Crumbs to ride, to love, to sorrow
Close your eyes and then tomorrow
Wonder where the old days are all gone

Children, little children
We tried to do our best
And you know that once
We were little children
And I guess we made mistakes
Like all the rest
Asking life, "What is there for me?"
21, it's opened door key
To a world he thought was empty
You marry and have children
You are acting just the same as you were
When you thought that you were unique
