For Future Generations

The signs are obvious, they are everywhere
 All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
 Too many would be prophets saying
 It's the end of it all
 'Cause mother earth can't take much more
 The hammer's gonna fall
 So nature has its needs, that's a lesson learned
 But it appears to me there are greater concerns
 'Cause we can save the planet
 Thinkin' we will somehow survive
 But father time is calling us
 To save somebody's life
 So I won't bend and I won't break
 I won't water down my faith
 I won't compromise in a world of desperation
 What has been I cannot change
 But for tomorrow and today
 I must be a light for future generations
 ♪
 If we could find a way to preserve our faith
 So those who follow us
 See the price that was paid
 Then maybe when they question
 What it's gonna take to survive
 They'll find the strength to carry on
 In what we leave behind
 So I won't bend and I won't break
 I won't water down my faith
 I won't compromise in a world of desperation
 What has been I cannot change
 But for tomorrow and today
 I must be a light for future generations
 Lookin' in the eyes of the children
 Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
 When the choice is up to them
 Will they have the strength to say
 We won't bend and we won't break
 We won't water down our faith
 We won't compromise in a world of desperation
 What has been we cannot change
 For tomorrow and today
 We must be a light for future generations
 For future generations
 We won't bend and we won't break
 We won't water down our faith
 We won't compromise
 In a world of desperation
 What has been we cannot change
 But for tomorrow and today
 We must be a light for future generations
 We must be a light for future generations
 Yes we must be a light for future generations
 We must be a light for future generations
 For future generations
