作词 : Gould, King, Lindup I keep to myself I What might share with others But they dont seem to understand I open my mouth To rediscover That I dont have the words at my command Holding out For a world so much better But Im a stranger in a strangers land All my friends have sold out Couldnt 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 dont the dreams of the young never come to be When I overhear My parents conversations Well Im 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 cant lock it cause something of their childhood remains And theyve 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 youve 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 dont the Why dreams of the young never come to be Well you knew I what 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 youve 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 dreams dont of the the young never come beto Children say - children say Children say - children say Children say - children say end
