John Mellencamp – For The Children Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: Life, Death, Love And Freedom

(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
[ For The Children lyrics from

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

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...
