For The Children - John Schumann[00:00:00]

The lady from the paper asked me[00:00:07]

Would I write a song for you [00:00:11]

I didn't know you then but now I do [00:00:13]

And I'm stuck in this motel room[00:00:19]

With an empty aching heart [00:00:22]

And the miles roll out between us[00:00:25]

And they're tearing me apart[00:00:28]

All I've got are tunes and rhymes[00:00:31]

This one's for you [00:00:36]

May you always feel the sunshine[00:00:40]

And take time to taste the rain [00:00:43]

May your friends be true and caring[00:00:46]

And I hope you are the same;[00:00:48]

And in your fleeting passage [00:00:53]

Leave a little bit behind[00:00:56]

For the children who will follow[00:01:00]

In your footsteps [00:01:03]

Along the sands of time [00:01:05]

I dreamed there was a world for you [00:01:12]

Without the rush of rockets[00:01:16]

And the thump of khaki gunships in the sky[00:01:19]

But there were rows of eucalyptus[00:01:24]

And trains for little boys[00:01:28]

And tadpoles in a still black creek[00:01:31]

And playgrounds full of noise;[00:01:34]

In my vision fear and greed[00:01:37]

And anger were the only things to die[00:01:39]

May the wind blow gently through your life [00:01:45]

May your principles be strong;[00:01:48]

May you stand up and be counted[00:01:51]

When they work out right from wrong[00:01:54]

May your nights be short and peaceful [00:01:59]

May your days be warm and long;[00:02:02]

May your music be a service[00:02:06]

May they pause sometime and listen to your song[00:02:09]

And here's this little voice [00:02:36]

Reaching down the phone [00:02:39]

"Dad you've been away so long [00:02:42]

When are you coming home "[00:02:46]

The lady from the paper asked me[00:02:53]

Would I write a song for you [00:02:56]

I didn't know you then but now I do [00:02:59]

And I'm stuck in this motel room[00:03:04]

With an empty aching heart [00:03:07]

And the miles roll out between us[00:03:10]

And they're tearing me apart[00:03:13]

All I've got are tunes and rhymes[00:03:17]

This one's for you [00:03:21]

May your eyes be filled with kindness [00:03:25]

May the seeds of wisdom grow[00:03:28]

May you seek for truth and beauty[00:03:31]

And when you find it may you know[00:03:34]

May you help feed those who are hungry [00:03:39]

And comfort those who hurt[00:03:42]

May you always fright for justice[00:03:46]

For all of us who walk upon the earth[00:03:49]
