In My Own Lifetime (Stereo Promo Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my own lifetime I want to see the fighting cease
In my own lifetime I want to see my sons enjoy the fruits of peace
While I'm still here I want to know beyond a doubt
That no one can lock us in or lock us out

[Verse 2]
We have climbed higher, much higher than I thought we'd climb
It's a long journey and even though the ends in sight there's not much time
I wanna know we havn't niped once and
In my own lifetime

[Verse 3]
In my own lifetime I want to see our efforts blessed
Yes in my own lifetime I want to see the walls come down
Then I'll rest

[Outro]
This Moses wants to see the promise land
In my own lifetime I want to see
