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...
