Plight of the young seems hopeless, one day Struggle alone no purpose, none seem to care We travel life's highways, uncertain (not sure) Some are ready pull the curtain, they say (no cure) What can I say, in order to reach them? In time to teach them, those who are lost on their way And how in the world, can i convince them, that I am their friend? Trust what love has to say Prayer and guidance, is what (they need) No longer can we just sit, and watch them bleed People, can't you hear the cry out (the young) Someone must warn them of what should come What can I say, in order to reach them? (The old and young) In time to teach them (how far we've Come) those who are lost on their way (oooh) And how in the world, Can I convince them (there's a better way) that I am their friend? Trust what love has to say What can I say (what can I say) in order to reach them? (Eyy) In time to teach them (those) those who are lost on their way And how in the world (and how? ) Can I convince them, that I am their friend? (Trust what love) Trust what love has to say Lord, with drugs confronting our young We ask for the tongue of the learned Give me something to say, to turn a life around What can I say (what can I say) in order to reach them? (Ohhh in time) In time to teach them (those lost) those who are lost on their way And how in the world (how in the world) can I convince them (Convince them) that I am their friend? (I am their friend) Trust what love has to say End
