Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Open your eyes and see)
The world I couldn't change for you
(Reach out your hand and take)
The world that will belong to you
[Verse 2]
We were on our way to a better day
And the spirit was in us all
But as time went by we fell by the wayside
Maybe you'll be the last to fall
[Verse 3]
(You are the only ones)
There is nobody left but you
(You are the chosen ones)
There is nobody else to choose
[Verse 4]
Back when I was young, my hope was strong
But the time blew it all to hell
If I thought I knew what was good for you
I would have gone and done it for myself
[Verse 5]
Worlds of tomorrow
Life without sorrow
Take it because it's yours
Sons of 1984
[Verse 6]
Worlds of tomorrow
Life without sorrow
Take it because it's yours
Sons of 1984
[Verse 7]
I can still see the great panorama of hate
Being cleansed by our loving hands
But the brothers broke stride, the sisters cried
So you have to start all over again
[Verse 8]
Worlds of tomorrow
Life without sorrow
Take it because it's yours
Sons of 1984
[Verse 9]
Worlds of tomorrow
Life without sorrow
Take it because it's yours
Sons of 1984
[Verse 10]
Worlds of tomorrow
Life without sorrow
Take it because it's yours
Sons of 1984
[Verse 11]
Worlds of tomorrow
Life without sorrow
Take it because it's yours
Sons of 1984
