They Are Missing Lyrics

What if their eyes were not brown

But instead, green or blue

And if their skin a shade lighter

Looked more like me and you

And if their mom sat beside us

At the office or church

Would that child that she's missing

Have a little more worth

If we could see past all color

If we could see past all race

If we could see past those stories

And just look at the face

To the spirit of the person

Who is dwelling within

We'd see we're all one people

And those missing our kin

They're our sisters, our brothers

Our daughters, our sons

They're the babes we watched grow up

They're kids having fun

They're the aunt we most cherished

They're cousins and friends

And they are missing what will we do

To bring them back home again

They are missing what will we do

To bring them back home again

Because each life is precious

With loved ones who care

And hearts that are breaking

From unanswered prayers

Where are they, what happened

Those questions remain

But together we could be the change

They're our sisters, our brothers

Our daughters, our sons

They're the babes we watched grow up

They're kids having fun

They're the aunt we most cherished

They're cousins and friends

And they are missing what will we do

To bring them back home again

They are missing what will we do

To bring them back home again

Together we have the power

And we could find a way

To stand up for what's right

Make a difference today

Because they have no voice now

But you and I do

And they're missing

What are we going to do

They're our sisters, our brothers

Our daughters, our sons

They're the babes we watched grow up

They're kids having fun

They're the aunt we most cherished

They're cousins and friends

And they're missing what will we do

To bring them back home again

They are missing what will we do

To bring them back home again

They are missing what will we do

To bring them back home again
