The night is so wild   And downstairs the child is sleeping   Her spirit is free   For more than an hour   I have walked in the rain   I've been wondering   What will she be?   But where are the heroes?   Where are the dreams that I had   When I was young?   Am I hoping in vain   Just to think   She could change anything?   Well, I'm counting on you      I'm counting on you   To bring that sweet gentleness to your world   And all that you do   My generation is losing its way   We don't know   What we're leaving for you   So may there be millions to feel like you do   Oh, my love      There is so much to know   There is so far to go   But you are not alone   When this is your world   And I'm counting on you   I'm counting on you      Come to me   Turn to me   Give me your eyes   When you see   The mysteries of time   Here there are those    Who just live in the past   They will never    Let history lie   And this sad little island   Is breaking my heart with it's dark   Shades of green   And as hard as I try   I just cannot see why this should be      There is so much to know   There is so far to go   But you are not alone   When this is your world   And I'm counting on you   I'm counting on you   I'm counting on you   I'm counting on you
