Lyrics

[00:17.83] Where is the child, does anyone know?
[00:21.67] She's been forgotten, when did she go?
[00:25.82] The times are brutal, borders are crossed
[00:30.23] Where is the child, the child is lost
[00:36.75] Where is the child? Someone must know
[00:41.15] Who saw her last, why did she go?
[00:45.60] We were under attack, reaching rock bottom
[00:49.94] That was our focus, the child was forgotten
[00:56.73] It's an open secret, we spread and react
[01:00.63] And if it's not true then the rumors are fact
[01:05.21] Although she may have been sometimes forgotten
[01:09.59] There's no suggestion she was misbegotten
[01:15.28] She was our reason, our religion, our cause
[01:20.66] Our best excuse for emergency laws
[01:24.78] Invoked so often to explain and subdue
[01:29.10] The forgotten child from whom we all grew
[01:33.99] Child of our nation, our icon, our future
[01:37.91] Gone from our records, I'm no computer
[01:42.25] The times are brutal, borders are crossed
[01:46.31] I think she took flight, and now we're all lost
[01:53.42] Where is the child?
[01:57.62] Where is the child?
[02:01.93] The times are brutal, borders are crossed
[02:06.04] Where is the child, the child is lost
[02:14.80]
[03:05.58] (Where is the child?
[03:13.60] Where is the child?)
[03:16.87]
