letra de for the children - john schumann

Loading...

the lady from the paper asked me would i write a song for you
i didn’t know you then but now i do
and i’m stuck in this motel room with an empty aching heart
and the miles roll out between us and they’re tearing me apart…
all i’ve got are tunes and rhymes – this one’s for you

may you always feel the sunshine and take time to taste the rain
may your friends be true and caring and i hope you are the same;
and in your fleeting p-ssage, leave a little bit behind
for the children who will follow in your footsteps, along the sands of time

i dreamed there was a world for you, without the rush of rockets
and the thump of khaki gunships in the sky…
but there were rows of eucalyptus and trains for little boys
and tadpoles in a still black creek and playgrounds full of noise;
in my vision, fear and greed and anger were the only things to die…

may the wind blow gently through your life, may your principles be strong;
may you stand up and be counted when they work out right from wrong…
may your nights be short and peaceful, may your days be warm and long;
may your music be a service…may they pause sometime and listen to your song

and here’s this little voice, reaching down the phone
“dad you’ve been away so long, when are you coming home?”

may your eyes be filled with kindness, may the seeds of wisdom grow…
may you seek for truth and beauty and when you find it may you know…
may you help feed those who are hungry, and comfort those who hurt
may you always fright for justice for all of us who walk upon the earth
