Lyrics A Blues for the Eighties - Eugenio Finardi
I
want
my
children
to
be
healthy
and
strong
Want'em
to
grow
up
Knowing
what's
rigth
from
what's
wrong
Want
my
children
to
remember
this
song
Want
their
love
to
last
steady
and
long
But
when
they'll
ask
the
truth
of
me
I'll
sing'em
a
blues
for
the
nineteen-eighties
I'll
show'em
the
lands
and
I'll
show'em
the
seas
But
I'll
giv'em
optimism
in
minor
key
I
want
my
children
to
have
freedom
to
roam
Want'em
to
know
that
this
earth
is
their
home
I
want
my
children
to
be
happy
and
free
More
than
I
was
ever
allowed
to
be
But
if
they
ask
the
truth
of
me
I'll
sing'em
a
blues
for
the
nineteen-eighties
I'll
show'em
the
lands
and
l'il
show'em
the
sea
I'll
have
to
give'em
optimism
in
minor
key
Yeah
I'll
show'em
the
birds,
The
fish
and
the
trees
And
I'll
have
to
sing'em
Optimism
in
minor
key
