Timothy B. Schmit - For The Children lyrics

(t. b. schmit/b. gaitsch) Once upon a time i - i could bathe in the sun By the ocean so blue I could smell the rainfall And watch the pure water run The taste it was true I used to be able to see so far away I had nothing to fear And now it's so hard To feel the clear light of day The world is so insincere We must all go into our hearts Then we will know just how to start We've got to give all - all we can possibly give For the children to live When i was a young boy i could play by the street And laugh with my friends We were never scared of Anyone we might meet We never thought it could end We must all go into our hearts Then we will know just how to start We've got to give all - all we can possibly give For the children to live As i go on i have a strong feeling of sorrow I've got to know our love will grow with hope for tomorrow We must all go into our hearts Then we will know just how to start We've got to give all - all we can possibly give For the children to live
