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 sayin' "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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 But for tomorrow and today We must be a light for future generations [Chorus]
