so a child may follow
Singer:damian marley
many have been lost along the way
teach them to be careful while at play
there's nothing wrong with having fun
don't let the system tame you
it's just a part of being young
and even though they're quick to blame you
picking on you like a plum
because your dream became true
now look what they've become
an open sight in plain view
they've already had a run
so meanwhile they try to change you
it's not over till it's done
so please remain the same you
many have been lost along the way
teach them to be careful while at play
you might not think you know enough
it's all apart of growing up
and we're all young enough to learn to
and don't you live life in a rush
the past cannot be returned to
and when you feel like giving up
remember patience is a virtue
the truth will never hurt you
'cause many have been lost along the way
teach them to be careful while at play
so when you're rising start
try to make good times last 'cause time flies past
but it don't cost money to joke and laugh
so if you love somebody hurry up and talk
