Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Gould, King, Lindup
[00:38.98] I keep to myself
[00:40.55] What I might share with others
[00:42.86] But they dont seem to understand
[00:45.61]
[00:47.36] I open my mouth
[00:48.92] To rediscover
[00:50.86] That I dont have the words at my command
[00:54.80]
[00:55.92] Holding out
[00:56.73]
[00:57.27] For a world so much better
[00:59.20] But Im a stranger in a strangers land
[01:02.33]
[01:03.33] All my friends have sold out
[01:05.45] Couldnt handle the pressure
[01:08.08] Counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can
[01:11.77] Children say - children say
[01:15.89]
[01:16.70] We open our minds as one
[01:19.71]
[01:20.95] But one more day - slips away
[01:24.39]
[01:25.01] Why dont the dreams of the young never come to be
[01:29.51] When I overhear
[01:31.51] My parents conversations
[01:33.27] Well Im struck by the things they say
[01:36.39]
[01:37.21] It seems they traded the years
[01:39.40] For mere complications
[01:41.45]
[01:42.14] Who ever thought it could end this way
[01:45.45]
[01:46.64] They close the door
[01:48.77] But they cant lock it
[01:50.57] cause something of their childhood remains
[01:53.45]
[01:54.33] And theyve felt it before
[01:56.46] When the man in their pocket
[01:58.64] Counted the cost of their material gains
[02:02.89]
[02:04.46] Children say - come what may
[02:07.64] Be strong for the friends youve known
[02:10.39]
[02:11.77] But one fine day - (not) far away
[02:14.76] Will we remember the love we used to own
[02:19.57]
[02:20.88] Children say - children say
[02:23.89]
[02:24.51] We open our minds as one
[02:27.38]
[02:28.76] As one more day slips away
[02:32.20]
[02:32.82] Why dont the dreams of the young never come to be
[02:40.64]
[02:58.49] Well you knew what I was saying
[03:00.80] But did you know what it meant
[03:02.62] When you saw that look in my eye
[03:04.80] Did you know it was heaven sent
[03:06.87] Was it all a waking dream
[03:09.12] All that time we must have spent
[03:11.05] Well I guess it must have been
[03:12.86] Somehow that feeling came and went
[03:15.05]
[03:15.74] Children say - come what may
[03:18.55]
[03:19.30] Be strong for the friends youve known
[03:22.68]
[03:23.86] But one fine day - (not) far away
[03:27.80] Will we remember the love we used to own
[03:31.80]
[03:32.74] Children say - children say
[03:35.74]
[03:36.61] We open our minds as one
[03:38.80] As one more day - slips away
[03:44.61]
[03:45.12] Why dont the dreams of the young never come to be
[03:52.36]
[04:05.80] Children say - children say
