1	I keep to myself what I might share with others						I keep to myself	1
2	But they don't seem to understand						what I might share with others	2
3	I open my mouth to rediscover						but they don't seem to understand	3
4	That I don't have the words at my command						I open                       my mouth	4
5							to rediscover	5
6	Holdin' out for a world so much better						that I don't have the words at my command	6
7	But I'm a stranger in a stranger's land						holding out	7
8	All my friends have sold out, couldn't handle the pressure						for a world so much better	8
9	Countin' their blessings, tryin' to salvage what they can						but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land	9
10							all my friends have sold out	10
11	Children say, children say						couldn't handle the pressure	11
12	"We open our minds as one"						counting their blessings trying	12
13	But one more day slips away						to salvage what they can	13
1	Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be?							1
14							Children say - children say	14
15	When I overhear my parents' conversations						we open our minds as one	15
16	Well, I'm struck by the things they say						but one more day - slips away	16
17	It seems they traded the years for mere complications						why don't               the dreams of the	17
18	Who ever thought it could end this way						young never come to be	18
2								2
19	They close the door but they can't lock it						When I overhear	19
20	'Cause somethin' of their childhood remains						my parents conversations	20
21	And they've felt it before, when the man in their pocket						well I'm struck by                the things they say	21
22	Counted                      the cost of their material gains						it seems they traded the years	22
23							for mere complications	23
24	Children say, "Come what may						who ever thought it could end this way	24
25	Be strong for the friends you've known"						they close      the door	25
26	But one fine day, far away						but they can't lock it	26
27	Can we remember the love we used to own?						'cause something of their childhood remains	27
28							and they've felt it before	28
29	Children say, children say						when the man in their pocket	29
30	"We open our minds as one"						counted the cost of their material gains	30
3	As one more day slips away							3
31	Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be?						Children say -                                come what may	31
32							be strong for the friends you've known	32
33	Everybody hear them say						but one fine day - (not) far away	33
34							will we remember the love we used to own	34
35	Well, you knew what I was sayin'						Children say - children say	35
36	But did you know what it meant?						we open our minds as one	36
37	When you saw that look in my eye						as one more day slips away	37
38	Did you know it was heaven sent?						why don't the dreams of the	38
39							young never come to be	39
4	Was it all a wakin' dream?							4
40	All that time we must have spent						Well you knew what I was saying	40
41	Well, I guess             it must have been						but did you know what it meant	41
42	Somehow           that feelin' came and went						when you saw that look in my eye	42
43							did you know it was heaven sent	43
44	Children say, "Come what may						was it all a waking dream	44
45	Be strong for the friends you've known"						all that time we must have spent	45
46	But one fine day, far away						well I guess it must have been	46
47	We remember the love we used to own						somehow that feeling came and went	47
5								5
48	Children say, children say						Children say - come what may	48
49	"We open our minds as one"						be strong for the friends you've known	49
50	As one more day slips             away						but one fine day - (not) far away	50
51	Why don't           the dreams of the young never come to be?						will we remember the love we used                     to own	51
52							Children say - children say	52
53	And all children say						we open our minds as one	53
54	Children say, children say						as one more day - slips away	54
55	And all children say						why don't the dreams of the	55
56	Children say, children say						young never come to be	56
57							Children say - children say	57
58	Hear just them say						we thought it would never go	58
59	Children say, children say						as one more day - slips away	59
60	All children say						who ever thought we could be so lonely	60
6	Children say, children say							6
