Come now children sing along
To the beating of the drum
Leave your houses, toys alone
Not afraid of skull and bone

Come now children sing along
When the night bird starts to moan
When were passing by the last stone
Of the place that we call home

You favored waiting
You favored waiting
You favored waiting

Come now children sing along
As the howler at the moon
Steals our smallest child from home
We admit that we went wrong

You favored waiting
You favored waiting
You favored waiting
You favored waiting
