We can try to understand
It's something we should know
A mother's dream is broken
And she's got nowhere to go
Do we know just what we're doing?
We're living in the past
The hopes and dreams we're hiding seem
To hold on to the last
A million conversations
Never said a word
Countless delegations
Saying things that won't be heard
Oh, oh
Try to understand
The children of the future
Gotta have a chance
Oh, oh
It's time to make it right
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
You'll fight a war for fame
No one takes the blame
She sells her soul for water
As they feed another plane
We don't know what we're doing
The innocent won't last
Praying that their conscience makes them
Recognise the past
A million conversations
Never said a word
Countless delegations
Saying things that won't be heard
Oh, oh
Try to understand
The children of the future
Gotta have a chance
Oh, oh
It's time to make it right
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
Oh, a million conversations
They never said a word
Countless delegations
Saying things that won't be heard
Oh, oh
Try to understand
The children of the future
They gotta have a chance
Oh, oh
It's time to make it right
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
Oh, oh
Try to understand
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
