For The Children — текст песни (Timothy B. Schmit)

(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch)



Once upon a time I - I could bathe in the sun

By the ocean so blue

I could smell the rainfall

And watch the pure water run

The taste it was true



I used to be able to see so far away

I had nothing to fear

And now its so hard

To feel the clear light of day

The world is so insincere



We must all go into our hearts

Then we will know just how to start

Weve got to give all - all we can possibly give

For the children to live



When I was a young boy I could play by the street

And laugh with my friends

We were never scared of

Anyone we might meet

We never thought it could end



We must all go into our hearts

Then we will know just how to start

Weve got to give all - all we can possibly give

For the children to live



As I go on I have a strong feeling of sorrow

Ive got to know our love will grow with hope for tomorrow



We must all go into our hearts

Then we will know just how to start

Weve got to give all - all we can possibly give

For the children to live
