They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears 
Forgive and forget, all the while 
Love and pain [bad word] one and the same 
In the eyes of a wounded child 
Because [bad word]  [bad word] Is For Children 
And you know that their little lives can [bad word] such a mess  [bad word]  [bad word] Is For Children 
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing 
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy 
Tell grandma you fell off the swing 

Because [bad word]  [bad word] Is For Children 
And you know that their little lives can [bad word] such a mess  [bad word]  [bad word] Is For Children 
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
