let the children play

my mother would tell me

better stay in line

you gotta look for the magic

if there's a way there comes a time

my dad used to tell me

you gotta work real hard

keep it straight and simple

from the head

then the heart

if you'd ask my brother

i know what he'd say

let the children play

it's not where we're coming from

it's how we turn from here

we know where we want to go

we just need a line

to get us there. my sister would show me

to land on your feet

you got to suffer fools

before you get

life and need

so god would you tell me

is there an other way

let the children play

it's not where we're coming from

it's how we turn from here

we know where we want to go

we just need the line

to get us there. my mother would tell me

better stay in line

you gotta look for the magic

if there's a way there comes a time

it's not where we're coming from

it's how we turn from here

we know where we want to go

we just need the line

to get us there.
