For The Children Lyrics - Life, Death, Love And Freedo - John Mellencamp

I wish I could give you an answer 

As to when life really begins 

I wish I could tell you where we went 

When our days here come to an end 

Wish I could see the future 

The same way I see the past 

Wish I could draw a conclusion 

Why nothing here seems to last 

I can't even make a guess 

Or an uneducated thought 

All I can do here is my best 

And be thankful for what we've got

Why do so many suffer 

Oppressed to the end of time 

Why does freedom move so slowly 

Unable to speak its mind 

Some say it's a circle 

Others think we live on the wing 

Why are promises broken 

And some think life don't mean a thing 

I can't even make a guess 

Or an uneducated thought 

All I can do here is my best 

And be thankful for what we've got 

Photos 

I hope you can be a child of life 

With big dreams for everyone 

And know that dying's as natural as birth 

And our troubles here they don't last long 

I have worried about many things 

Most of which did not come to pass 

Hope you find someone to give you love 

And that your love will last 

I can't even make a guess 

Or an uneducated thought 

All I can do here is my best 

And be thankful for what we've got 

We've got...
