I keep to myself what I might share with others[00:00:22]
But they don't seem to understand[00:00:26]
I open my mouth to rediscover[00:00:30]
That I don't have the words at my command[00:00:34]
Holdin' out for a world so much better[00:00:39]
But I'm a stranger in a stranger's land[00:00:42]
All my friends have sold out [00:00:46]
Couldn't handle the pressure[00:00:48]
Countin' their blessings [00:00:51]
Tryin' to salvage what they can[00:00:52]
Children say children say[00:00:56]
"We open our minds as one"[00:01:00]
But one more day slips away[00:01:04]
Why don't the dreams of the young[00:01:08]
Never come to be [00:01:10]
When I overhear my parents' conversations[00:01:12]
Well I'm struck by the things they say[00:01:16]
It seems they traded the years[00:01:20]
For mere complications[00:01:22]
Who ever thought it could end this way[00:01:25]
They close the door but they can't lock it[00:01:30]
'Cause somethin' of their childhood remains[00:01:33]
And they've felt it before [00:01:37]
When the man in their pocket[00:01:39]
Counted the cost of their material gains[00:01:42]
Children say "Come what may[00:01:46]
Be strong for the friends you've known"[00:01:50]
But one fine day far away[00:01:55]
Can we remember the love we used to own [00:01:59]
Children say children say[00:02:03]
"We open our minds as one"[00:02:07]
As one more day slips away[00:02:11]
Why don't the dreams of the young[00:02:15]
Never come to be [00:02:17]
Everybody hear them say[00:02:22]
Well you knew what I was sayin'[00:02:41]
But did you know what it meant [00:02:43]
When you saw that look in my eye[00:02:45]
Did you know it was heaven sent [00:02:47]
Was it all a wakin' dream [00:02:49]
All that time we must have spent[00:02:51]
Well I guess it must have been[00:02:54]
Somehow that feelin' came and went[00:02:55]
Children say "Come what may[00:02:58]
Be strong for the friends you've known"[00:03:02]
But one fine day far away[00:03:06]
We remember the love we used to own[00:03:11]
Children say children say[00:03:15]
"We open our minds as one"[00:03:19]
As one more day slips away[00:03:23]
Why don't the dreams of the young[00:03:28]
Never come to be [00:03:29]
And all children say[00:03:40]
Children say children say[00:03:41]
And all children say[00:03:48]
Children say children say[00:03:49]
Hear just them say[00:03:56]
Children say children say[00:03:58]
All children say[00:04:05]
Children say children say[00:04:06]
