So many years ago the people on this earth, they were laughing
They didn't think of anything else than love and peace
But generations failed to see that they were causing trouble for the future
They didn't know that one single war would continue to increase
But I'll be beside you
'Cause I want to hide you
I'll cover my pain
Or I'll go insane
Oh lord, where will it end
When tomorrow is gone
Oh lord, can we stop to pretend
That we can survive in the future to come
In the future to come
As long as you can see, as long as you can feel, there's no cause for alarm
As long as you can touch, as long as you can move, it ain't too bad
But one day or another this world would maybe be destroyed forever
A holocaust could maybe be spread and drive us all mad
But I'll be beside you
'Cause I want to hide you
I'll cover my pain
Or I'll go insane
Oh lord, where will it end
When tomorrow is gone
Oh lord, can we stop to pretend
That we can survive in the future to come
In the future to come
So many years ago the people on this earth, they were laughing
They didn't think of anything else than love and peace
But generations failed to see that they were causing trouble for the future
They didn't know that one single war would continue to increase
But I'll be beside you
'Cause I want to hide you

When tomorrow is gone
Oh lord, can we stop to pretend
That we can survive in the future to come
