Here we are my little darlings With things we dare not bear to know Strengthen your hearts my little charmings You’ve got a long long way to go
CHORUS And the little ones they must walk on walk on The little ones must walk on walk on It has no reason it has no tense or time It’s human treason and has no sense or rhyme But when everything has gone The little ones must walk on
Look around at what we’ll leave you Yours to repair and try to save The broken stone the withered forest The sad and empty ocean wave CHORUS
The tinker tries the tailor thimbles The soldiers sailors give their lives The rich man laughs while the poor man stumbles And the thieves are sharpening their knives CHORUS
