I keep to myself | |
what I might share with others | |
but they don't seem to understand | |
I open my mouth | |
to rediscover | |
that I don't have the words at my command | |
holding out | |
for a world so much better | |
but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land | |
all my friends have sold out | |
couldn't handle the pressure | |
counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can | |
Children say - children say | |
we open our minds as one | |
but one more day - slips away | |
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be | |
When I overhear | |
my parents conversations | |
well I'm struck by the things they say | |
it seems they traded the years | |
for mere complications | |
who ever thought it could end this way | |
they close the door | |
but they can't lock it | |
'cause something of their childhood remains | |
and they've felt it before | |
when the man in their pocket | |
counted the cost of their material gains | |
Children say - come what may | |
be strong for the friends you've known | |
but one fine day - (not) far away | |
will we remember the love we used to own | |
Children say - children say | |
we open our minds as one | |
as one more day slips away | |
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be | |
Well you knew what I was saying | |
but did you know what it meant | |
when you saw that look in my eye | |
did you know it was heaven sent | |
was it all a waking dream | |
all that time we must have spent | |
well I guess it must have been | |
somehow that feeling came and went | |
Children say - come what may | |
be strong for the friends you've known | |
but one fine day - (not) far away | |
will we remember the love we used to own | |
Children say - children say | |
we open our minds as one | |
as one more day - slips away | |
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be | |
Children say - children say | |
we thought it would never go | |
as one more day - slips away | |
who ever thought we could be so lonely |
