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"
â€~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
â€~Cause we can't 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 and 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 and 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, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
What has been we cannot change, but for tomorrow and today
We must be a light 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, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
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, future generations
We must be a light for future generations, for future generations
For future generations
