For Future Generations by 4HIM

The signs are obvious, they are everywhere
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
Too many would be prophets saying, "It’s the end of it all"
‘Cause Mother Earth can’t take much more, the hammer’s gonna fall

So nature has its needs, that’s a lesson learned
But it appears to me, there are greater concerns
‘Cause we can save the planet, thinkin’ we will somehow survive
But father time is calling us to save somebody’s life

So I won’t bend and I won’t break
And I won’t water down my faith
I won’t compromise in a world of desperation

What has been, I cannot change
For tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations

If we could find a way to preserve our faith
So those who follow us see the price that was paid
Then maybe, when they question, "What it’s gonna take to survive?"
They’ll find the strength to carry on in what we leave behind

So I won’t bend and I won’t break
And I won’t water down my faith
I won’t compromise in a world of desperation

What has been, I cannot change
For tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations

Lookin’ in the eyes of the children
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
When the choice is up to them
Will they have the strength to say

We won’t bend and we won’t break
We won’t water down our faith
We won’t compromise in a world of desperation

What has been we cannot change
For tomorrow and today
We must be a light for future generations

We won’t bend and we won’t break
We won’t water down our faith
We won’t compromise in a world of desperation

What has been we cannot change
For tomorrow and today
We must be a light for future generations
We must be a light for future generations
Yes, we must be a light for future generations

We must be a light for future generations
For future generations
