"For Jasmine" lyrics

"For Jasmine"

I am watching you, watching the way you watch people do
The things that they do, as you grow older, learning
Child, understanding
'Bout the way that a soul on a soul on a soul
Can be born, can be beautiful
Child, understanding
I see the smile that lights your face
When you understand and realize
Oh, child, in this world
Strange how we forget the things that made us first smile

Ho, hey, never stop learning!
Ho, hey, never stop wandering!
Baby's growing older
Oh my child, never stop learning

And I'm learning too
About the way that people do the things that they do
Never meaning to hurt anyone
But we all do things that we regret, and wish we'd never done
Oh child, and there you are, wandering through the garden of life
Picking up flowers and eating them
And the world will smile when you smile
And we all have smiles inside of us

Ho, hey, never stop learning!
Ho, hey, never stop wandering!
Baby's growing older
Oh my child, never stop learning

Now baby, baby, yeah- don't you ever stop learning!
Baby, baby, yeah- don't you ever stop learning!

Don't you ever stop learning!
Ho, hey, don't you ever stop wandering!
Baby's growing older
Oh my child, never stop learning

Now baby, baby, yeah- don't you ever stop learning!
Now baby, baby, yeah- never stop learning!
No no, oh - don't you ever stop feeling!
(Unintelligible vocalizations)
Ho, hey, don't make me say it again!
