Children laugh
Children cry
Theyre the future of our time
Will they hold us to blame
For all the things weve turned away
I dont like what I see now
I dont like where were going
I dont like it, no
You and i, were getting older now
You and i, who will show them
If we dont show them how

I want to know is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you
I want to know is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you

Children laugh
Children cry
Theyre the ones who will survive
Will they know what weve sold
Natures gift weve turned for gold
I dont like what I see now
In my life, what I see now
I dont like where were going
I dont like it, no
You and i, were getting older now
You and i, who will show them
If we dont show them how

In this house of hope
In this house of hope
In this house of hope

You and i, were getting older now
You and i, who will show them if we
Dont show them how
