I cannot bathe you in a river gone black I cannot hold you in a poison rain If i can't see you through the air that we breathe What will love in the future be? I wanna watch my children laugh as they run I wanna hold their children on my knee And tell them stories of a vanishing sun Of how it used to be In my lover's life i want to share I want to see the world now through her eyes And about everything she sees, i care The time has come to rise I cannot bathe you in a river gone black I cannot hold you in a poison rain If i can't see you through the air that we breathe What will love in the future be? Will we make it a different story? Is there love in the future for you and me? We're looking for answers in outer space When will we discover the earth is a sacred place? Chorus
