For a Child - Michael McDonald

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
