We can try to understand
It's something we should know
A mother's dream is broken
And she's got nowhere to go
Do we know just what we're doing
We're living in the past
The hopes and dreams we're hiding
Seem to hold on to the last
A million conversations never said a word
Countless delegations saying things that won't be heard
Oh oh try to understand
The children of the future
Gotta have a chance
Oh oh it's time to make it right
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
You'll fight a war for fame
No one takes the blame
She sells her soul for water
As they faced another plane
We don't know what we're doing
The innocent won't last
Praying that their conscience makes
Them reconize the past
A million conversations never said a word
Countless delegations saying things that
Won't be heard
Oh oh try to understand
The children of the future
Gotta have a chance
Oh oh it's time to make it right
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
