Lyrics

[Verse 1] Take all the Metal and Wood Used in the waging of the war And teach the men that make those weapons To build shelter for the poor [Verse 2] Take all the money we spend On the way that we appear Find the ones that die of hunger And help them see them another year [Pre-Chorus] Before we fade away Let's make a better day This world will keep on turning After we are gone... long gone [Verse 3] There was a forest I loved Where the air was fresh and clean We took the forest for a factory So we could build some more machines [Verse 4] When I was young I learned to sing And music blossomed in my soul We took the music from the schools And left the darkest, gaping holes [Chorus] Where will our children be? If they don't learn to see? Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone [?] When we were young All the world was new But soon we found The childhood fairytale were never true And how the story ends Depends on you And me [Chorus] Where will our children be? If they don't learn to see? Millions of voices falling silent til they're gone... Before we fade away Let's make a better day This world will keep on turning After we are gone After you are gone After I am gone... long gone
