Ephraim Lewis - For Future Generations lyrics

They Are Everywhere

All That We Hear About

Is the Gloom and Despair

Too Many Would Be Prophets Saying

It's the End of It All

‘Cause Mother Earth

Can't Take Much More

The Hammer's Gonna Fall

So Nature Has Its Needs

That's a Lesson Learned

But It Appears to Me

There Are Greater Concerns

‘Cause We Can Save the Planet

Thinkin' We Will Somehow Survive

But Father Time Is Calling Us

To Save Somebody's Life

Chorus:

So I Won't Bend and I Won't Break

I Won't Water Down My Faith

I Won't Compromise in a World of Desperation

What Has Been I Cannot Change

But For Tomorrow and Today

I Must Be a Light For Future Generations

If We Could Find a Way

To Preserve Our Faith

So Those Who Follow Us

See the Price That Was Paid

Then Maybe When They Question

What It's Gonna Take to Survive

They'll Find the Strength to Carry On

In What We Leave Behind

So I Won't Bend and I Won't Break

I Won't Water Down My Faith

I Won't Compromise in a World of Desperation

What Has Been I Cannot Change

But For Tomorrow and Today

I Must Be a Light For Future Generations

Lookin' in the Eyes of the Children

Knowing That Tomorrow Is At Stake

When the Choice Is Up to Them

Will They Have the Strength to Say

We Won't Bend and We Won't Break

We Won't Water Down Our Faith

We Won't Compromise in a World of Desperation

What Has Been We Cannot Change

But For Tomorrow and Today

We Must Be a Light For Future Generations

We Won't Bend and We Won't Break

We Won't Water Down Our Faith

We Won't Compromise in a World of Desperation

What Has Been We Cannot Change

But For Tomorrow and Today

We Must Be a Light For Future Generations
