| 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 | |
| holding 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 | |
| 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 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 something 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 - (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 don't the dreams of the young never come to be | |
| Well you knew what I 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 you've 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 don't the dreams of the young never come to be | |
| Children say - children say | |
| we thought it would never go | |
| as one more day - slips away | |
| who ever thought we could be so lonely |
