I wish I could give you an answer<br />
As to when life really begins<br />
I wish I could tell you where we went<br />
When our days here come to an end<br />
Wish I could see the future<br />
The same way I see the past<br />
Wish I could draw a conclusion<br />
Why nothing here seems to last<br />
<br />
I can't even make a guess<br />
Or an uneducated thought<br />
All I can do here is my best<br />
And be thankful for what we've got<br />
<br />
Why do so many suffer<br />
Oppressed to the end of time<br />
Why does freedom move so slowly<br />
Unable to speak it's mind<br />
Some say it's a circle<br />
Others think we live on the wing<br />
Why are promises broken<br />
And some think life don't mean a thing<br />
<br />
I can't even make a guess<br />
Or an uneducated thought<br />
All I can do here is my best<br />
And be thankful for what we've got<br />
<br />
I hope you can be a child of life<br />
With big dreams for everyone<br />
And know that dying's as natural as birth<br />
And our troubles here they don't last long<br />
I have worried about many things<br />
Most of which did not come to pass<br />
Hope you find someone to give you love<br />
And that your love will last<br />
<br />
I can't even make a guess<br />
Or an uneducated thought<br />
All I can do here is my best<br />
And be thankful for what we've got<br />
We've got</
