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
|
