By 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
