For a Child

Love is the answer to a child
Just as hope is the answer to us all
But it’s there at the beginning
That we learn to hope at all
And God help us if we don’t
Chorus:
Tell me where is this place
From which there’s no return
What can we know of another road
From the one that we made
With our anger and our rage
We dare not go where there is no hope
Not even for a child
If dreams fly over the rainbow
Truth lies waiting for us all
If siren’s voices cloud our reason
Can we still resist their call
'cause God help us if we don’t
Chorus:
For so many people livin' their whole lives
Waiting to be saved
For so many chilren taking that short trip
From the cradle to the grave
