about

For Amelia Earhart and for all the other missing children.

lyrics

Brother said, Brother said, Brother said,
"If she don't come home, I'll take her room as my own--
We can place her small face on the milk carton when she comes."
Brother said.

Mother said, Mother said, Mother said,
"She must come home, I'll stand guard by this quiet telephone--
This rubble world must know she's one of my own and bring her home."

Fields of Johnny-Jump-Ups jostle,
Tell them that I'm safe and coming home.

Father said, Father said, Father said,
"I'll turn every door, make every creature alarmed--
Til she's safe in our arms like back when I can control it all."

Sister said, Sister said,
"If she don't come home, I'll take her love as my own."
