《For The Children(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] For The Children - John Mellencamp

[00:00:11] I wish I could give you an answer

[00:00:16] As to when life really begins

[00:00:22] I wish I could tell you where we went

[00:00:27] When our days here come to an end

[00:00:32] Wish I could see the future

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

[00:00:42] Wish I could draw a conclusion

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

[00:00:55] I can't even make a guess

[00:00:59] Or an uneducated thought

[00:01:05] All I can do here is my best

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

[00:01:34] Why do so many suffer

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

[00:01:44] Why does freedom move so slowly

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

[00:01:54] Some say it's a circle

[00:01:59] Others think we live on the wing

[00:02:05] Why are promises broken

[00:02:09] And some think life don't mean a thing

[00:02:17] I can't even make a guess

[00:02:22] Or an uneducated thought

[00:02:28] All I can do here is my best

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

[00:02:56] I hope you can be a child of life

[00:03:00] With big dreams for everyone

[00:03:06] And know that dying's as natural as birth

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

[00:03:17] I have worried about many things

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

[00:03:26] Hope you find someone to give you love

[00:03:32] And that your love will last

[00:03:39] I can't even make a guess

[00:03:44] Or an uneducated thought

[00:03:50] All I can do here is my best

[00:03:54] And be thankful for what we've got

[00:04:02] We've got
