1
How am I gonna explain it to him?
2
What am I gonna to say when it's something that grim?
3
How the hell do you tell them there comes an end?
4
How're you gonna handle it and still be their friend?
5
How do you explain this world we face?
6
To all of the innocents we brought to this place?
7
These and other questions stand in a row
8
And I'm not satisfied with the answers I know
9
What are you going to say to those eyes?
10
I can't even get close to the lies
11
They are easier to tell, you just say,"Oh, well
12
I'll explain it when he's older"
13
Somehow that's colder than I want to be
14
I am uncomfortable lying to a child
15
Feels like building a trap for something wild
16
Feels like building your house on the sand
17
And expecting the ocean to let it stand
18
Somehow I must come up with better stuff
19
You see, I'm just not satisfied with all that simplified guff
20
That they shovel at the kids by the handful
21
Like candy they buy at the stand full
22
Or flags by the side of the road
23
Not good for them to hand them that load of crap like they do
24
You see, I want a world where I can tell him the truth
25
About everything from Jesus to John Wilkes Booth
26
How they lie in the House and the Senate too
27
Only get close to the truth when it suits them to
28
And the very next day
29
They're back to lying that way
30
Of course it doesn't seem to matter what I want
31
But I look at some of the faces all haggard and gaunt
32
I wonder which thing made them lose their dreams
33
'Cause mine is alive very much it would seem
34
And I would just like to be able to hand it to him
35
Without the light in those eyes ever getting dim
36
I wanna dream for him
37
I wanna dream, dream, dream
38
Dream, dream, dream for him
39
I wanna dream for him
40
Dream for him
41
Dream for him
42
Dream for him
43
