I can`t recall a time
So many children had the blues
Can`t recall a time
So many children had the blues
This world`s a painted picture
They`re growing up too fast
The innocence of childhood
Just a mem`ry from the past
And I can`t recall a time
Lord I can`t recall a time
So many elders lived in fear
Can`t recall the time
So many elders lived in fear
Crime and disrespect
Have them locked behind closed doors
Stretching out fixed incomes
While the cost of living soars
And I can`t recall the time
My, my, my
< guitar solo >
Man abusing woman
Adult abusing child
Teachers trying to teach, hah
With bullets whizzing by, no
Can`t recall a time
It was so hard to keep the faith
Listen now
Most get less and less
While just a few get more and more
Time is getting tight
The wolf is in the door
And I can`t recall a time
My, my, my, my, my, my
(spoken:)
It`s just hard to see so many people suffer so much...
Hard to keep the faith...
You see it... it`s sad... I`ll say it again, it`s sad...)
Most get less and less, while just a few get more and more
Time is tight boy, the wolf is in the door
And I can`t recall a time
So many children had the blues.
