Dougie Maclean - Little Ones Walk On lyrics

Here we are, my little darlings With things we dare not bear to know Strengthen your hearts, my little charmings You've got a long, long way to go And the little ones, they must walk, on walk on The little ones must walk on, walk on It has no reason, it has no tense or time It's human treason, it has no sense or rhyme But when everything has gone The little ones must walk on Look around at what we'll leave you Yours to repair and try to save The broken stone the withered forest The sad and empty ocean wave And the little ones, they must walk, on walk on The little ones must walk on, walk on It has no reason, it has no tense or time It's human treason, it has no sense or rhyme But when everything has gone The little ones must walk on The tinker tries, the tailor thimbles The soldiers sailors give their lives The rich man laughs while the poor man stumbles And the thieves are sharpening their knives And the little ones, they must walk, on walk on The little ones must walk on, walk on It has no reason, it has no tense or time It's human treason, it has no sense or rhyme But when everything has gone The little ones must walk on
