For The Children

Wish I could give you an answer As to when life really begins 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 could 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 could do here is my best And be thankful for what we've got Hope you could 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 pa*s Hope you find someone to give you love That your love will last I can't even make a guess Or an uneducated thought All I could do here is my best And be thankful for what we've got, we've got
