For The Children

Inspired by Mike Love It will be a beautiful evening, I guarantee -

I don't wanna have to tell this Story

I don't wanna have to Admit

That when it happened I just stood By

Somehow I kept myself from my own Eyes

I don't wanna have to tell my Grand Children

When it comes time for them to know Again

That I was here when the Birdies Fell

Down from the Big Blue Sky

And I'll be there for the story to Tell

Why it was that I could not Cry

I don't wanna have to tell this Story

I don't wanna have to Admit

That when it happened I just stood By

Somehow I kept myself from my own Eyes

I wanna tell them that I stood Up

And I let them know all about my Love

For my Mama, who is always here for us All

For my Mama, who forever Calls

For my Mama, who knows us all so Well

For my Mama, who provides the Swells

I don't wanna have to tell this Story

I don't wanna have to Admit

That when it happened I just stood By

Somehow I kept myself from my own Eyes

I was there when the Fishes still Swam

In that Green Blue Sea

I was there I was just Who I Am

And I tried so hard to set them Free

Oh Darling, I was not one of Them

Who raped Her time and Again

I always tried my best to Fight for Her

My Community tried to do bring about a Cure

I don't wanna have to tell this Story

I don't wanna have to Admit

That when it happened I just stood By

Somehow I kept myself from my own Eyes

Can you help me to find more Ways

To bring about the Change Today

To avoid my Future broken Heart

Can we do IT, Can we Start

Oh, I wanna be able to tell a Good Story

Not one filled with Hate and things all Gory

I don't wanna have to see my babies Cry

Can you help Me, Can we Try

A Little Harder

Live a Little Smarter

Can we do it for the Children

For Our Children's, Children's, Children

We don't wanna have to tell that Story

Of how we just stood By

And we did not even seem to Cry

It's not so hard, it's just the Starting to Do

Once we get Rollin' there'll be no Stopping Us

I tell that it's True

In ourselves, Ourselves we can Trust

We don't wanna have to see our babies Cry

Can you help Me, Can we Try

A Little Harder

Live a Little Smarter

Can we do it for the Children

For Our Children's, Children's, Children
