lyrics

Should have, would have could of that’s no way to live your life, please don’t throw away the dreams you had when young.
Seems like only yesterday, my friends and I went out to play, but you wake up one cold morning they’re all gone.
Oh yeah.
Do you care?
Don’t burn your bridges of desire nor throw your songbooks on the fire, hold close the ones who take your breath away.
Paint your pictures sing your songs, when all seems lost, we carry on, if we’re out of step it’s ‘cos we hear different drums.
Oh yeah
Please care.
Don’t be consumed by hate and fear nor be too scared to shed your tears, teach your children well they should not be afraid.
Write the words they need to read, give hope to those who don’t believe, that a broken heart will one day get repaired.
Oh yeah.
Oh Yeah.
Should have, would have could of that’s no way to live your life, please don’t throw away the dreams you had when young.
Seems like only yesterday, my friends and I went out to play, but you wake up one cold morning they’re all gone.
No matter where I roam.
