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

[Instrumental]
|C  D |G  D |  x2

[Bridge]
                 C  D  G  D
Someone to talk to
             C    D  G  D
Someone who cares
                C   D  G  D
Someone who listens
            C    D  G  D
Is anyone there?

[Instrumental]
|Em |Em |
|Em |Am |Em |

[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
