The Way Back Home
Lost Innocence: A Heartfelt Plea for Missing Children
Lyrics
A little girl was crying for her mama and her daddy
A little girl is crying for her missing parents.
She couldn't understand why they were gone
The girl is confused about why her parents are not with her.
She never knew the danger of talking to a stranger
She was unaware of the danger of talking to strangers, leading to her current situation.
Now the girl can't find her way back home
As a result, the girl is now lost and unable to find her way back home.
A little boy went walking down to the corner market
A little boy went to a store but faced a similar fate due to talking to a stranger.
To buy a loaf of bread and an ice cream cone
The boy went to buy simple items, but it turned into a dangerous situation.
He never knew the danger of talking to a stranger
Like the girl, the boy didn't realize the danger of talking to strangers.
Now the boy can't find the way back home
The boy is now lost and unable to find his way back home.
