*tuned half step down*        [Verse 1] I wish I could give you an answer As to when life really begins 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 I wish I could draw a conclusion Why nothing here seems to last               [Chorus] 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   aahh  aahh                        [Verse 2] 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 a wing Why are promises broken And some think life don’t mean a thing       [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 I hope you find someone to give you love And that your love will last                 [Chorus]
