For the Children

I wish I could give you an answer

As to when life really begins

I 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 can do here is my best

And be thankful for what we’ve got

Hahhh

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 can do here is my best

And be thankful for what we’ve got

Hahhh

I hope you can 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 pass

Hope you find someone to give you love

And that your love will last

I can’t even make a guess

Or an uneducated thought

All I can do here is my best

And be thankful for what we’ve got

Hahhh

We’ve got

Hahhh
