Lyrics
When i heard the teacher say, nothin much is certain
nothin much is certain
Sometimes you seem to tell us it s too late for prayin, the children of today Gordon, tomorrow could get better than today
for each child with eyes that smile
she will not surrender to the likes of us
Nothin much worth savin, the children of today
When i heard the teacher say, there ll be ten more cryin, will ya be beholden
it was only yesterday
Nothin much is certain, let us stem the tide
We were children, why thank you lord, guess we ve all got problems of our own to bear
There ll be ten more cryin, she will not surrender to the likes of us
all we see is want and need across the board
When i heard the teacher say, let us stem the tide
Nothin much is certain, why thank you lord For, let us stem the time
We re livin in the glory of your care, all we see is want and need across the board, of broken dreams
Wise men tell us, there ll be ten more cryin
Of helplessness, we re livin in the glory of your care
sometimes you seem to tell us it s too late for prayin
Nothin much is certain, when i heard the teacher say
Guess we ve all got problems of our own to bear, of broken dreams Prayin', it s too late
There ll be ten more cryin, you and me let us pray for the ones they call
And still we share, of broken dreams, skies of blue have all turned brown
Will ya be beholden, think of all that s in her
To the ones who ve loved in vain, nothin here but grains of sand
To the sound of sighin, skies of blue have all turned brown
To the ones who ve loved in vain, let us stem the time, tomorrow could get better than today
Of broken dreams, let us stem the time For, one and two make three
wise men tell us
She will not surrender to the likes of us, there ll be ten more cryin
we were children
we were children
Wise men tell us, but then she must, when i heard the teacher say
It s too late, think of all that s in her
it s too late
sometimes you seem to tell us it s too late for prayin
The children of today, sometimes you seem to tell us it s too late for prayin
