Watching the kids as they play in the sand
See how they build the things with their hands
Castles and popeyes and feeling so bad
Building a rainbow to fantasy
Wish I could turn 'round and go back again
Just for a moment to visit a friend
He was an old man I met by the sea and
Told me to wander and always be
Follow the children and will you find
Your problems are gone, you have peace of mind
Follow the children and you will see
The reason for living is just to be free
Coolness descend as the evening falls near
They pick up their buckets and all disappear
My heart feels a jingle, my cheek feels a tear
I want to go with you and land on my ear
Follow the children and will you find
Your problems are gone, you have peace of mind
Follow the children and you will see
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free (Children, children)
The reason for living is just to be free (Children, children)
The reason for living is just to be free (Children, children)
The reason for living is just to be free (Children, children)
The reason for living is just to be free (Yeah, yeah)
The reason for living is just to be free (Yeah, yeah)
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
The reason for living is just to be free
