《Children Say》歌词

[00:00:22] I keep to myself what I might share with others

[00:00:26] But they don't seem to understand

[00:00:30] I open my mouth to rediscover

[00:00:34] That I don't have the words at my command

[00:00:39] Holdin' out for a world so much better

[00:00:42] But I'm a stranger in a stranger's land

[00:00:46] All my friends have sold out

[00:00:48] Couldn't handle the pressure

[00:00:51] Countin' their blessings

[00:00:52] Tryin' to salvage what they can

[00:00:56] Children say children say

[00:01:00] "We open our minds as one"

[00:01:04] But one more day slips away

[00:01:08] Why don't the dreams of the young

[00:01:10] Never come to be

[00:01:12] When I overhear my parents' conversations

[00:01:16] Well I'm struck by the things they say

[00:01:20] It seems they traded the years

[00:01:22] For mere complications

[00:01:25] Who ever thought it could end this way

[00:01:30] They close the door but they can't lock it

[00:01:33] 'Cause somethin' of their childhood remains

[00:01:37] And they've felt it before

[00:01:39] When the man in their pocket

[00:01:42] Counted the cost of their material gains

[00:01:46] Children say "Come what may

[00:01:50] Be strong for the friends you've known"

[00:01:55] But one fine day far away

[00:01:59] Can we remember the love we used to own

[00:02:03] Children say children say

[00:02:07] "We open our minds as one"

[00:02:11] As one more day slips away

[00:02:15] Why don't the dreams of the young

[00:02:17] Never come to be

[00:02:22] Everybody hear them say

[00:02:41] Well you knew what I was sayin'

[00:02:43] But did you know what it meant

[00:02:45] When you saw that look in my eye

[00:02:47] Did you know it was heaven sent

[00:02:49] Was it all a wakin' dream

[00:02:51] All that time we must have spent

[00:02:54] Well I guess it must have been

[00:02:55] Somehow that feelin' came and went

[00:02:58] Children say "Come what may

[00:03:02] Be strong for the friends you've known"

[00:03:06] But one fine day far away

[00:03:11] We remember the love we used to own

[00:03:15] Children say children say

[00:03:19] "We open our minds as one"

[00:03:23] As one more day slips away

[00:03:28] Why don't the dreams of the young

[00:03:29] Never come to be

[00:03:40] And all children say

[00:03:41] Children say children say

[00:03:48] And all children say

[00:03:49] Children say children say

[00:03:56] Hear just them say

[00:03:58] Children say children say

[00:04:05] All children say

[00:04:06] Children say children say
