In The Future To Come

(Album: Europe - 1983)

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 done
Oh Lord can we stop to pretend
That we can survive 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 maybe be spread
And drive us all mad
