Dennis DeYoung - One Hundred Years From Now lyrics

Tell me how do we begin this tragic tale When centuries of fear and hate have left a bloody trail Will there come a time we'll live to see When the sins of our fathers and mothers will cease to be And can we find a way to live and let live When we know the hardest part is learning to forgive And who will be the first, and who will be last To admit that the future can never be lived in the past So pray tonight, pray we must But prayers alone cannot build the trust For all those people whose vengeance is their vow Eye for eye, tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children's children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now And how do we repair the damage done To all of those who've known the loss of daughters and of sons And can we really feel another's pain The k**ing continues from Adam and Abel to Cain Eye for eye, tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children's children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now So pray tonight we k** the beast That lives among us from west to east And to all those people whose vengeance is their vow Eye for eye, tooth for tooth Who among us will speak the truth So our children's children will live in peace somehow One hundred years from now One hundred years from now
