For the Children John Mellencamp

I wish I could give you an answer
As to when life really begins
I 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
Wish I could draw a conclusion
Why nothing here seems to last

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
Hahhh

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 the wing
Why are promises broken
And some think life don’t mean a thing?

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
Hahhh
