I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
|
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
|
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
|
What will love in the future be?
|
I wanna watch my children laugh as they run
|
I wanna hold their children on my knee
|
And tell them stories of a vanishing sun
|
Of how it used to be
|
|
In my lover's life I want to share
|
I want to see the world now through her eyes
|
And about everything she sees, I care
|
The time has come to rise
|
|
I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
|
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
|
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
|
What will love in the future be?
|
Will we make it a different story?
|
Is there love in the future for you and me?
|
|
We're looking for answers in outer space
|
When will we discover the earth is a sacred place?
|
|
[Chorus]
