A                  C    
When When will the icicle melt,
    A                  C
And when When will the picture show end
A                          C
I should not have read the paper today
         A                   C
'Cause a child, child he was taken away


C                       Am
There's a place for the baby that died
C                        Am
And there's time for the mother who cried
C                        Am
And she will hold him in her arm sometim
C                              Am
'Cause nine months is too long


A             C
How could you hurt a child
A                      C  
Now does this make you satisfied
A                                C
I don't know what's happening to people today
A                    C
When a child, he was taken away
