Neil Young, Promise of the Real - Children of Destiny lyrics

Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of you and me

Should goodness ever lose
And evil steal the day
Should happy sing the blues
And peaceful fade away

What would you do, what would you say?
How would you act on that blue day?

Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the ways of democracy so
The children can be free
The children of destiny

When money matters most
And war is good for gain
The capitol is yours
The people feel the pain

They feel the pain, they walk the streets
While the bombs fall in the rain
The children hide somewhere inside
While the bombs fall in the rain

Stand up for what you believe
Resist the powers that be
Preserve the land and save the seas
For the children of destiny
The children of destiny
