Little Boys, Little Girls

Little boys, little girls
    Journeyed miles from home
Little boys, little girls
    Seeking freedom, nothing more
Little boys, little girls
    Following liberty’s glow
Little boys, little girls
    Done nothing wrong
Little boys, little girls
    Ripped from mama’s arms
Little boys, little girls
    Played as political pawns
Little boys, little girls
    Taken from all they’ve ever known
Little boys, little girls
    Branded as problems that can’t be fixed
Little boys, little girls
    Left lost in a system
Little boys, little girls
    While mom & dad sit in a cell
Little boys, little girls
    Crying tears of sadness
Little boys, little girls
    That’s all they are
Little boys, little girls
    Babies that need love
Little boys, little girls
