For The Children |
| I wish I could give you an answer |
| As to when life really begins |
| I wish I could tell you where we went |
| When our days here come to an end |
| Wish I could see the future |
| The same way I see the past |
| Wish I could draw a conclusion |
| Why nothing here seems to last |
| I can’t even make a guess |
| Or an uneducated thought |
| All I can do here is my best |
| And be thankful for what we’ve got |
| Why do so many suffer |
| Oppressed to the end of time |
| Why does freedom move so slowly |
| Unable to speak its mind |
| Some say it’s a circle |
| Others think we live on the wing |
| Why are promises broken |
| And some think life don’t mean a thing |
| I can’t even make a guess |
| Or an uneducated thought |
| All I can do here is my best |
| And be thankful for what we’ve got |
| I hope you can be a child of life |
| With big dreams for everyone |
| And know that dying’s as natural as birth |
| And our troubles here they don’t last long |
| I have worried about many things |
| Most of which did not come to pass |
| Hope you find someone to give you love |
| And that your love will last |
| I can’t even make a guess |
| Or an uneducated thought |
| All I can do here is my best |
| And be thankful for what we’ve got |
| We’ve got… |
