children laugh
children cry
they're the future of our time
will they hold us to blame
for all the things we've turned away
I don't like what I see now
I don't like where we're going
I don't like it, no
you and I, we're getting older now
you and I, who will show them
if we don't 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
they're the ones who will survive
will they know what we've sold
nature's gift we've turned for gold
I don't like what I see now
in my life, what I see now
I don't like where we're going
I don't like it, no
you and I, we're getting older now
