Ask the Kids Lyrics

Have you asked your kids today
why they feel dissatisfied?
Have you told them that they must succeed
then turned around and walk awayHave you asked your kids today
why they feel dissatisfied?
Do you know what they want of you
Have you really listened when they repliedThey're out of school
and they can't get work
They stand around and watch the sky
They read the papers looking for jobs
Everyday is the same reply
They wonder will they have a choice
to fulfill their own dreams
(Ask, ask, ask the kids)They wander around
They've nothing to do
Empty inside they're lost and alone
They seldom hear words of hope
From parents who've got no time

They wonder will they have a choice
to fulfill their own dreamsHave you asked your kids today
why they feel dissatisfied?
Have you told them that they must succeed
then turned around and walked awayHave you asked your kids today
why they feel dissatisfied?
Do you know what they want of you
Have you really listened when they repliedThey find their house is not a home
They don't receive a helping hand
They can't see why they're not understood
and never hear supporting words
Perfection's not what kids demand
All the want is love and praise
(Ask, ask, ask the kids)
Sometimes its good when parents say
We don't always know the way
When together they can share their doubts
Their kids might then be satisfied
Perfection's not what kids demand
All they want is love and praiseIt's a fact
