I keep to myself[00:00:38]
What I might share with others[00:00:40]
But they don't seem to understand[00:00:43]
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[00:01:13]
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[00:01:32]
It seems they traded the years[00:01:37]
For mere complications[00:01:39]
Who ever thought it could end this way[00:01:40]
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[00:01:59]
Children say - come what may[00:02:01]
Be strong for the friends youve known[00:02:06]
But one fine day - (not) far away[00:02:11]
Will we remember the love we used to own[00:02:16]
Children say - children say[00:02:23]
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[00:02:59]
But did you know what it meant[00:03:01]
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[00:03:05]
All that time we must have spent[00:03:07]
Well I guess it must have been[00:03:10]
Somehow that feeling came and went[00:03:12]
Children say - come what may[00:03:15]
Be strong for the friends youve known[00:03:20]
But one fine day - (not) far away[00:03:22]
Will we remember the love we used to own[00:03:28]
Children say - children say[00:03:34]
We open our minds as one[00:03:38]
As one more day - slips away[00:03:40]
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be[00:03:45]
Children say - children say[00:04:07]
We thought it would never go[00:04:08]
As one more day - slips away[00:04:16]
Who ever thought we could be so lonely[00:04:32]
