[00:00.00]For The Children - John Mellencamp
[00:11.87]I wish I could give you an answer
[00:14.34]
[00:16.36]As to when life really begins
[00:19.29]
[00:22.15]I wish I could tell you where we went
[00:24.80]
[00:27.08]When our days here come to an end
[00:30.81]
[00:32.21]Wish I could see the future
[00:35.28]
[00:36.76]The same way I see the past
[00:40.33]
[00:42.77]Wish I could draw a conclusion
[00:45.26]
[00:46.96]Why nothing here seems to last
[00:50.21]
[00:55.63]I can't even make a guess
[00:59.15]
[00:59.73]Or an uneducated thought
[01:03.15]
[01:05.80]All I can do here is my best
[01:09.67]And be thankful for what we've got
[01:13.30]
[01:34.14]Why do so many suffer
[01:36.76]
[01:38.60]Oppressed to the end of time
[01:42.05]
[01:44.62]Why does freedom move so slowly
[01:47.15]
[01:48.88]Unable to speak it's mind
[01:52.44]
[01:54.77]Some say it's a circle
[01:57.62]
[01:59.38]Others think we live on the wing
[02:02.71]
[02:05.05]Why are promises broken
[02:07.73]
[02:09.23]And some think life don't mean a thing
[02:12.70]
[02:17.96]I can't even make a guess
[02:21.34]
[02:22.02]Or an uneducated thought
[02:25.46]
[02:28.19]All I can do here is my best
[02:31.95]And be thankful for what we've got
[02:35.70]
[02:56.69]I hope you can be a child of life
[02:59.76]
[03:00.82]With big dreams for everyone
[03:04.00]
[03:06.56]And know that dying's as natural as birth
[03:10.39]
[03:10.98]And our troubles here they don't last long
[03:14.79]
[03:17.05]I have worried about many things
[03:20.48]
[03:21.52]Most of which did not come to pass
[03:24.90]
[03:26.95]Hope you find someone to give you love
[03:30.50]
[03:32.03]And that your love will last
[03:35.36]
[03:39.97]I can't even make a guess
[03:43.44]
[03:44.00]Or an uneducated thought
[03:47.43]
[03:50.12]All I can do here is my best
[03:53.44]
[03:54.01]And be thankful for what we've got
[03:57.49]
[04:02.03]We've got
