[00:00:06] @ @

[00:00:10] I wish I could give you an answer

[00:00:15] As to when life really begins

[00:00:20] I wish I could tell you where we went

[00:00:25] When our days here come to an end

[00:00:31] Wish I could see the future

[00:00:36] The same way I see the past

[00:00:41] Wish I could draw a conclusion

[00:00:46] Why nothing here seems to last

[00:00:53] I can't even make a guess

[00:00:59] Or an uneducated thought

[00:01:04] All I can do here is my best

[00:01:09] And be thankful for what we've got

[00:01:32] Why do so many suffer

[00:01:38] Oppressed to the end of time

[00:01:43] Why does freedom move so slowly

[00:01:48] Unable to speak it's mind

[00:01:53] Some say it's a circle

[00:01:58] Others think we live on the wing

[00:02:03] Why are promises broken

[00:02:08] And some think life don't mean a thing

[00:02:15] I can't even make a guess

[00:02:21] Or an uneducated thought

[00:02:26] All I can do here is my best

[00:02:31] And be thankful for what we've got

[00:02:54] I hope you can be a child of life

[00:02:59] With big dreams for everyone

[00:03:05] And know that dying's as natural as birth

[00:03:10] And our troubles here they don't last long

[00:03:16] I have worried about many things

[00:03:21] Most of which did not come to pass

[00:03:25] Hope you find someone to give you love

[00:03:31] And that your love will last

[00:03:38] I can't even make a guess

[00:03:43] Or an uneducated thought

[00:03:48] All I can do here is my best

[00:03:53] And be thankful for what we've got

[00:04:01] We've got
