lyrics

Where have all the children gone?
Who will hear their silent song
Many never cry the tears nor learn the infant dance
Mother, won't you keep your young
Or are they in the balance hung
On games of chance and circumstance?
O, save the children!

And a cry of desperation is rising up in all the land
When the cold wind blows the helpless suffer the sin

Some will only see the grave
Who will care enough to save?
Or is the heart become too hard to love the little ones?
Mother, won't you keep your young
Or are they in the balance hung
On games of chance and circumstance?
O, save the children!

And a cry of desperation is rising up in all the land
When the cold wind blows the helpless suffer the sin

Mother, is your blood running cold?
You don't care to pay the price
The innocent have never been told
They will be the sacrifice

And a cry of desperation is rising up in all the land
When the cold wind blows the helpless suffer the sin

Some will end in tragedy
Some will never be set free
From games of chance and circumstance
O, God, save the children!

Another classic Phil Keaggy album where it’s hard to pick just one favorite song. Too many good ones. Sounds, Movie, and Riverton are the backbone however and are must hears. Craig Opal

Find Me In These Fields [remastered & re-imagined]
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

supported by 5 fans who also own “Games of Chance”

"Find Me in These Fields" was one of Phil's releases where I sensed he was free to be himself, and that came on strong in every tune. As a guitar player I was inspired, and as a father with a young son "Gentle & Strong" tugged every heart string. Jon Stout
