When there’s no sign of wisdom in the big white house
When there’s no sign of answers in the wind
The times they are a-changin' but we can't see too clearly
If it turns out any better in the end
Family, faith in someone
A soothing voice when you're lost
It's hard to be coming of age in this time
These are your lifelines...
When there’s no sign of laughter in the dark school yard
When there’s no sign of wishing in the street
But a lonely voice of reason shouts out above the boulevard
These times have made the heart obsolete
Home and hearth, faith in someone
A soothing voice when you're lost
It's hard to be coming of age in this time
These are your lifelines
These are your lifelines
And if you find yourself at the crossroads
The future hiding on the blind side
Don't forget your rear view mirror
These are your lifelines.
