We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers
Wishing our families well
We sing songs for the wishing, of those who are kissing
But not for the missing...

Chorus
So this one's for all the Lost children
This one's for all the Lost children
This one's for all the Lost children, wishing them well
And wishing them nyumbani

When wewe sit there addressing, counting your blessings
Biding your time
When wewe lay me down sleeping and my moyo is weeping
Because I'm keeping a place

Chorus
For all the Lost children
This is for all the Lost children
This one's for all the Lost children, wishing them well
And wishing them nyumbani

nyumbani with their fathers,
Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But no one can find thee

Chorus
So pray for all the Lost children
Let's pray for all the Lost children
Just think of all the Lost children, wishing them well

This is for all the Lost children
This one's for all the Lost children
Just think of all the Lost children
Wishing them well, and wishing them home
