Children Say Lyrics - Running In The Family - Level 42

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
