And They Call us Children

They did this to us!

And they call us children!
Oh, at one time we were
Before all the fighting
And hurting for sure

We thought we had two great parents
A loving man and wife
Now we have nothing
But heartache, fear, and strife

Had we only seen it coming,
If only we had known,
Before our lives were shattered
And our tears, and heartache grown

And they call us children!
So down on each other
So hard and ever so mean
We’ve lost all our childish faith
We.ve lost our own family dream

How could we prepare
For this crushing pain, despair
So sudden it enveloped us
For us they showed no care

And They call us Children
Their folly just not right
For nothing they did that day
Was just Black or White

It hurts, it’s almost funny
They can’t even see the light
To us both good and wonderful
Truth clear as day and night

Yes, both worth loving, both so great
To our children's eyes so fine
Our family it is broken,
A sunder for all time

And they call us children
By their actions they show well
So small , so petty. so heartless
Taking us down into their Hell

They're really just small children
Fighting for us as their grand prize
We wonder what ever happened
To our parents loving and wise

We’re stetched rope
In the middle of this awful, endless  fight
They pull us both ways together
Breaking To the left, to the right

Forced to become young adults
Dragged regardless of our age
Wandering lost and lonely
In this deep, unending cage

Oh, yes they call us children
We’re sad sorriful to say
But They really are the children
Since that drastic-dreadful day

Yes, pity Our Children!
