For The Children Lyrics by Timothy B. Schmit

Tell Me the Truth

0

(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
