letra de for the children's sake - colin buchanan
[verse 1]
it took a move to the country
to open up my eyes
a fall of rain, a muddy road
i watched the puddles rise
i slipped on gumboots
and stepped out into the rain
and rediscovered splashing through
the muddy puddles again
[verse 2]
the kids took me from the staffroom
to the bush where they played
a world of cubbies, of brave companions
of secret hideaways
the joy of childhood
they shared with me
i was reminded of imagination
and the world the children see
[chorus]
there’s a wealth of life so easily just left behind to rot
we say we reached maturity, we seem to miss a lot
we’d be a whole lot better off if we took the time
to share our lives with our children
[verse 3]
now a friend of mine with a book in hand
was sprawled out on the floor
taken to another place
through an open door
engrossed in a living book
i remember the joy
of my mum reading a story to me
in bed when i was a boy
[chorus]
there’s a wealth of life so easily just left behind to rot
we say we reached maturity, we seem to miss a lot
we’d be a whole lot better off if we took the time
to share our lives with our children
[instrumental]
[verse 4]
i took a walk through the bush with friends
we chatted as we strolled
and ran, and laughed, and discovered things
to see, to touch, to hold
a spider hole, a rusty lock
so much to be found
by taking time to walk together
taking time to look around
[chorus]
there’s a wealth of life so easily just left behind to rot
we might have reached maturity, we seem to miss a lot
we’d be a whole lot better off if we took the time
to share our lives with our children
