We pray for our fathers, pray for our mothers
Wishing our families well
We sing songs for the wishing, of those who are kissing
But not for the missing

So this one’s for all the Nawawala children
This one’s for all the Nawawala children
This one’s for all the Nawawala children, wishing them well
And wishing them home

When you sit there addressing, counting your blessings
Biding your time
When you lay me down sleeping my puso is weeping
Because I’m keeping a place

For all the Nawawala children
This is for all the Nawawala children
This one’s for all the Nawawala children, wishing them well
And wishing them home

tahanan with their fathers
Snug close and warm, loving their mothers
I see the door simply wide open
But no one can find thee

So let’s pray for all the Nawawala children
Let’s pray for all the Nawawala children
Just think of all the Nawawala children, wishing them well
This is for all the Nawawala children
This one’s for all the Nawawala children
Just think of all the Nawawala children
Wishing them well, and wishing them home
