Yesterday was long and gone

when today had come around

Everything was put away,

but remembered

Lacksi-daisy notions

that the anger’s gaining ground

Everything’s forgotten,

but remembered

 

Boy is being careful

through the windows of his eyes

Trying very hard,

just to do right

Clumsiness is prone these days

and in his mother’s eyes

Talent missed his bones and joints,

he can’t do right

 

Toiea, Toiea, To-o-o-iea

Try sometime to soothe

 

Traffic’s so one-sided

on the freeway of your mind

Got your cup of coffee,

but remember

Children are the mirrors,

widened eyes are keeping score

Spearing us with questions,

they’ll remember

 

Toiea, Toiea, To-o-o-iea

Try sometime to soothe

Toiea, Toiea, To-o-o-iea

Tension felt in youth
