Al Stravinsky - A child is gone
	lyrics
Verse 1 A child is gone, The bed is empty Save for grief and guilt and memories; Taken while their backs were turned, What lessons have we learned? A child is gone... Verse 2 A child is mourned, Stolen in the night; I hold my children tighter - Never will my back be turned, This lesson I have learned, A child is mourned... Middle 8 Her name and her picture Are a constant reminder Of how priceless a child's life is; While the nameless and faceless Mean nothing to us... Verse 3 A child is gone, A bed is empty, Stolen by hunger, sickness, poverty - Taken while our backs were turned, What lessons have we learned? A child is gone... Verse 4 A child is mourned Someone's daughter, someone's son, Each second claims another one - Taken while our backs are turned, What lessons have we learned? A child is mourned, A child is gone.
