Dennis DeYoung - One Hundred Years from Now lyrics

[Dennis DeYoung - One Hundred Years from Now lyrics]

Tell me how do we begin this tragic tale
When centuries of fear and hate
Have left a bloody trail
Will there come a time we'll live to see
When the sins of our fathers and
Mothers will cease to be

And can we find a way to live and let live
When we know the hardest part
Is learning to forgive
And who will be the first
And who will be last
To admit that the future can never
Be lived in the past

So pray tonight, pray we must
But prayers alone cannot build the trust
For all those people whose
Vengeance is their vow
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Who among us will speak the truth


So our children's children will
Live in peace somehow
One hundred years from now

And how do we repair the damage done
To all of those who've known the
Loss of daughters and of sons
And can we really feel another's pain
The killing continues from Adam
And Abel to Cain

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Who among us will speak the truth
So our children's children will
Live in peace somehow
One hundred years from now

So pray tonight we kill the beast
That lives among us from west to east
And to all those people whose
Vengeance is their vow
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Who among us will speak the truth
So our children's children will
Live in peace somehow
One hundred years from now

One hundred years from now
