Don’t Stop the Children

I know to you they are noise and nuisances
And you’re trying to protect me from their chatter
But don’t stop the children from coming

Let the children come to me
They come with open arms, open hearts, open minds
They come to me for love and nothing more

Don’t stop the children from coming
I am not too tired for those who love me
For those who want to be with me
For those who want to hold me
For those who want to be hugged

Let the children come to me
They come with soothing arms, innocent hearts, accepting minds
They come to me for love and nothing more

Don’t stop the children from coming
They fill me up with the strength I need to continue
They are the only ones who see me for who I am
They are the only ones with whom I can be free

Let the children come to me
They come with smiling eyes, laughing faces, loving souls
They come to me for love and nothing more

Don’t stop the children from coming
They give me back what I have lost
They bring me back to my happiest times
They carry me home to a place of love

Let the children come to me
They carry with them no sadness, no fears, no hate
They come to me for love and nothing more

No. Don’t stop the children from coming
