What about Tomorrows Children
Reilly Maggie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We walk in forest green
The grass is soft and clean
The sun up in the sky a perfect day
Our air is clear and sweet
Our earth is so complete
A cradle filled with life so warm and wonderful

What about tomorrows children
What about the world they live in
What about the way we live today
Tell me what about tomorrows children
We can do a lot to help them
And love tomorrows child today

The game is called consume
A path that leads to doom
Bridges being burned along the way
The child that's never seen
A river running clean
Cannot imagine spring so green and beautiful

What about tomorrows children
What about the world they live in
What about the way we live today
Tell me what about tomorrows children
We can do a lot to help them
And love tomorrows child today

We can turn the world around
We can show the way
And change the way we live today

What about tomorrows children
What about the world they live in
What about the way we live today
Tell me what about tomorrows children
We can do a lot to help them
And love tomorrows child today

What about tomorrows children




What about the world they live in
Tell me what about tomorrows children...
