You're looking around Trying not to notice That things are really falling down Everywhere we go We see the signs there And i don't see it coming round Will i ever know A brighter future staying here Will i ever know All of the promises from years ago But as we grew we know They're far from here Will we ever know A brighter future Or see a 1,000 points of light Just all the talking of politicians Who never seem to get it right Will i ever know A brighter future staying here Will i ever know All of the promises from years ago But as we grew we knew It's far from here Far from here . . . Sometimes i get so wound up I want to take my mind I want to get away But everywhere i look I know it's the same as yesterday Will we ever know A brighter future?
