Tracy Chapman - Our Bright Future - Текст песни

To my father 
What of your sons? 
All 
Of your children 
Even the ones 
Sent out 
To martyr 
To face the gun 
Precious bodies 
Opposed to bombs 

Led on led on 
To take the path 
Where 
Our bright future 
Is in our past 

To our father 
What of reason? 
Say what you will 
Believe 
What you want 
The record shows 
What we are not 
Our true desires 
Not 
our good thoughts 

Led on led on 
To take the path 
Where 
Our bright future 
Is in our past 

To my father 
What have you done? 
To the children 
Born innocent 
But come to harm 
For dreams of glory 
And just a line 
In history 

Led on led on 
To take the path 
Where 
Our bright future 
Is in our past 

To our father 
What good may come? 
To let the children 
Walk alone 
To fear to fail 
And need no savior 
To be at peace 
In our true nature 

Lead on Lead on 
Clear the path 
So 
Our bright future 
May come to pass 
May come to pass 
May come to pass
