And They Call us Children

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

We had two great parents
Loving man and his wife
Now we have nothing
But heartache and strife

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

Yes, they call us children!
So hard, just so mean
We’ve lost all our faith
With our family dream

Both worth loving
To our children's eyes
Our family it is broken,
We scream to the skies

Oh, yes they call us children
We’re sad, sorry to say
For They are the children
Since that dreadful day
