A World Afraid Of Tomorrow

These birds can't fly
Not the way they could before
Broken wings don't work anymore
And so, they stay low, whoa-oh
These birds won't sing
Can't remember how their voices ring
The silence drowns out everything
And so, they stay low, whoa-oh

Generations will follow
Live forever in sorrow
If their life stays the same
How can things ever change
In a world so afraid of tomorrow?

There's so much shame
Hiding in the dark to avoid the blame
Forgеtting who they are just to numb the pain
And so, they stay, low, whoa-oh
And so, they stay low, whoa-oh

Generations will follow
Live forever in sorrow
If their life stays the same
How can things ever change
In a world so afraid of tomorrow?

How can we be so cold, to someone we don't know?
Take it all away with a glance with no second chance
Sitting up in your house made of glass
I hope they don't throw stones

These birds can't fly
Not the way they could before
Broken wings don't work anymore
And so, they stay low, whoa-oh

Generations will follow
Live forever in sorrow
If their life stays the same
How can things ever change
In a world so afraid of tomorrow?
Generations will follow
Live forever in sorrow
If their life stays the same
How can things ever change
In a world so afraid of tomorrow?
