I watch my generation die   I watch the heads of nations lie   I watch the homeless on the streets   I stand here helpless just   Lookin' at my feet   I watch the children run away   The bullets fly where they should play   I watch a junkie fade away   I ain't got an answer   But I sure got things to say   Hey, I gotta find a way   Cause the road is dark   Gotta light my way   Gotta fight the fear   In my heart   Oh, I pray   I live to see   A brighter day, hey hey   I watch the old folks sit alone   They talk to ghosts they used to know   Where are the wise men of the tribe   Where are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeah   Now if I could I'd turn back time   Way back before there was corporate crime   We'd fight the wind to plant our seed   When the earth was stronger than human greed   Hey, hey, I gotta find a way   Cause night is dark   Gotta light my way   Gotta fight the fear   In my heart   Oh I pray   I live to see   A brighter day...hey, hey   I'm not tryin' to tell ya   What's right or wrong   I'm not trying to be clever   You gotta hope things get better   Even when they never...hey, hey, hey   Hey hey, I gotta find a way   Cause road is dark   Gotta light my way   Gotta fight the fear   In my heart   Oh, I pray   I live to see   A brighter day...hey, hey
