I keep to myself
What I might share with others
But they don't seem to understand
I open my mouth
To rediscover
But I don't have the words of my command
I'm holding out for the world
That's so much better
But I'm holding out for the world
I'm a stranger in a stranger's land
All my friends have sold out
Couldn't handle the pressure
They're counting all their blessings
Trying to salvage what they can
Children say, children say
We open our minds as one
As one more day slips away
What are the dreams of the young
Never come to be?
When I overhear
My parents' conversations
Well, I'm struck by the things they say
Seems they've traded for years
Mere complications
Never thought it could end this way
They close the door
They can't lock it
There's something that shall remain
Found it before
When the man in the pocket
Counted the cost
They're material gains
Children say, come what may
Be strong for the friends you've known
Have a one fine day far away
When we remember the love we used to own
Children say, children say
Children say, we open our minds as one
As one more day slips away
What are the dreams of the young
Never come to be?
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
To be
I'll see you next time.
Bye.
