I keep to myself[00:00:38]
What I might share with others[00:00:40]
But they don't seem to understand[00:00:42]
I open my mouth[00:00:47]
To rediscover[00:00:48]
That I don't have the words at my command[00:00:50]
Holding out[00:00:55]
For a world so much better[00:00:57]
But I'm a stranger in a strangers land[00:00:59]
All my friends have sold out[00:01:03]
Couldn't handle the pressure[00:01:05]
Counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can[00:01:08]
Children say - children say[00:01:12]
We open our minds as one[00:01:16]
But one more day - slips away[00:01:20]
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be[00:01:24]
When I overhear[00:01:29]
My parents conversations[00:01:31]
Well I'm struck by the things they say[00:01:33]
It seems they traded the years[00:01:37]
For mere complications[00:01:39]
Who ever thought it could end this way[00:01:42]
They close the door[00:01:46]
But they can't lock it[00:01:48]
Cause something of their childhood remains[00:01:50]
And theyve felt it before[00:01:54]
When the man in their pocket[00:01:56]
Counted the cost of their material gains[00:01:58]
Children say - come what may[00:02:04]
Be strong for the friends youve known[00:02:07]
But one fine day - (not) far away[00:02:11]
Will we remember the love we used to own[00:02:15]
Children say - children say[00:02:20]
We open our minds as one[00:02:24]
As one more day slips away[00:02:28]
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be[00:02:32]
Well you knew what I was saying[00:02:58]
But did you know what it meant[00:03:00]
When you saw that look in my eye[00:03:02]
Did you know it was heaven sent[00:03:04]
Was it all a waking dream[00:03:06]
All that time we must have spent[00:03:09]
Well I guess it must have been[00:03:11]
Somehow that feeling came and went[00:03:12]
Children say - come what may[00:03:15]
Be strong for the friends youve known[00:03:19]
But one fine day - (not) far away[00:03:24]
Will we remember the love we used to own[00:03:28]
Children say - children say[00:03:32]
We open our minds as one[00:03:36]
As one more day - slips away[00:03:41]
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be[00:03:45]
Children say - children say[00:04:07]
Children say - children say[00:04:15]
Children say - children say[00:04:24]
End[00:04:47]
