For Future Generations
VERSE 1:
G Em D G
The signs are obvious, they are everywhere
C Em G D
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
G Em C G
Too many would be prophets sayinâ "Itâs the end of it all"
C D
âCause Mother earth canât take much more
Em D
The hammerâs gonna fall
G Em D G
So nature has itâs needs, thatâs a lesson learned
C Em G D
But it appears to me there are greater concerns
G Em
âCause we can save the planet
C G
Thinkinâ we will somehow survive
C D Em D
But Father time is calling us to save somebodyâs life, so
CHORUS:
G
I wonât bend and I wonât break
Em
I wonât water down my faith
C D G
I wonât compromise in a world of desperation
What has been I cannot change
Em
But for tomorrow and today
C D G
I must be a light for future generations.
VERSE 2:
G Em D G
If we could find a way to preserve our faith
C Em G D
So those who follow us, see the price that was paid
G Em
Then maybe when they question
C G
What itâs gonna take to survive
C D
Theyâll find the strength to carry on
Em D
In what we leave behind
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Em D
Lookinâ in the eyes of the children
C D Em
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
G
When the choice is up to them
C D
Will they have the strength to say
CHORUS 2:
G
We wonât bend and we wonât break
Em
We wonât water down our faith
C D G
We wonât compromise in a world of desperation
What has been we cannot change
Em
But for tomorrow and today
C D G
We must be a light for future generations
(REPEAT)
C D G
We must be a light for future generations
C D G
Yes, we must be a light for future generations
C D G
We must be a light for future generations
D G
For future generations
