0:22I keep to myself what I might share with others
0:26But they don't seem to understand
0:30I open my mouth to rediscover
0:34That I don't have the words at my command
0:39Holdin' out for a world so much better
0:42But I'm a stranger in a stranger's land
0:46All my friends have sold out
0:48Couldn't handle the pressure
0:51Countin' their blessings
0:52Tryin' to salvage what they can
0:56Children say children say
1:00"We open our minds as one"
1:04But one more day slips away
1:08Why don't the dreams of the young
1:10Never come to be
1:12When I overhear my parents' conversations
1:16Well I'm struck by the things they say
1:20It seems they traded the years
1:22For mere complications
1:25Who ever thought it could end this way
1:30They close the door but they can't lock it
1:33'Cause somethin' of their childhood remains
1:37And they've felt it before
1:39When the man in their pocket
1:42Counted the cost of their material gains
1:46Children say "Come what may
1:50Be strong for the friends you've known"
1:55But one fine day far away
1:59Can we remember the love we used to own
2:03Children say children say
2:07"We open our minds as one"
2:11As one more day slips away
2:15Why don't the dreams of the young
2:17Never come to be
2:22Everybody hear them say
2:41Well you knew what I was sayin'
2:43But did you know what it meant
2:45When you saw that look in my eye
2:47Did you know it was heaven sent
2:49Was it all a wakin' dream
2:51All that time we must have spent
2:54Well I guess it must have been
2:55Somehow that feelin' came and went
2:58Children say "Come what may
3:02Be strong for the friends you've known"
3:06But one fine day far away
3:11We remember the love we used to own
3:15Children say children say
3:19"We open our minds as one"
3:23As one more day slips away
3:28Why don't the dreams of the young
3:29Never come to be
3:40And all children say
3:41Children say children say
3:48And all children say
3:49Children say children say
3:56Hear just them say
3:58Children say children say
4:05All children say
4:06Children say children say
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 Holdin' 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 Countin' their blessings Tryin' 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 somethin' 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 far away Can 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 Everybody hear them say Well you knew what I was sayin' 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 wakin' dream All that time we must have spent Well I guess it must have been Somehow that feelin' came and went Children say "Come what may Be strong for the friends you've known" But one fine day far away 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 And all children say Children say children say And all children say Children say children say Hear just them say Children say children say All children say Children say children say
