Where did all the children go? The wails of parents resonate Homes stripped of joy and cheer What do you mean, Christmas spirit? The wails of parents resonate But there's nothing they can do What do you mean, Christmas spirit? Here's a red poppy, please feel better There's nothing they can do but try their hardest not to cry Here's a red poppy, please feel better but nothing will ever be the same While they tried their hardest not to cry, the cold marble wall filled with the names of their children reminded them that nothing would ever be the same And all they could think of was, where did all the children go?
