[Verse 1]
Am G
You go where the wind blows, leading the life you chose
Am E
Your destination remains unknown
Am G
No one to help you, nobody cares about you
Am Em
You're looking for someplace you can call home
[Chorus]
Em
Lonely children on the run
Am Em
Lonely children need someone
[Verse 2]
Am G
Too many questions, you need to answer to them
Am Em
Your information is so incomplete
Am G Em
You seek directions, you would be lost without them
Am Em
Don't let them find you lying in the street
[Chorus]
Em
Lonely children on the run
Am Em
Lonely children need someone

[Verse 3]
Am G
They may detest you, someday they may arrest you
Am Em
They stop at nothing to hold you down
Am G Em
You need to be free, but will they ever let you?
Am Em
They won't be happy till you leave town
[Final Chorus]
Em
Lonely children on the run
Am
Lonely children need someone
Em
Lonely children in the night, can't see the light
Am
Lonely children need a guiding light,
Em
Don't forget, lonely children all alone
Am
Lonely children have no home
Em
Lonely children on the run
Am Em
Hope someday there'll be someone
N.C.
Lonely, lonely children
