Generations

I won’t be sold

And they will not steal

My burning soul

Is my own to heal

I wanna know

And I wanna feel

The way our love grows

When we make it real

Been through this before

Each time we learn more

How to laugh, love, dance, cry

And face up to the storm

For all our dreams

And all we’ve fought for

For peace to be found

We’ve gotta face facts

The shaky ground we’re standing ‘pon

Was founded on the land and bones

Of generations before

Generations of war

Look in each other’s eyes

Reflecting our fears

All the shit and the grime, it’s time

We’re here to come clear

Can you picture each human being’s innerlight

Glowing bright through the night

Like a sea of small flames ‘cross this earth

Don’t run away this time

Past shams and shame we’ll find

The first signs of rebirth

Been through this before

Each time we learn more

How to laugh, love, dance, cry

And face up to the storm

For all our dreams

And all we’ve fought for

For peace to be found

We’ve gotta face facts

The common ground we’re standing ‘pon

Was founded on resistance sown

By generations before

Surviving generations of war
