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
