You're looking around
Trying not to notice
That things are really falling down
Everywhere we go
We see the signs there
And i don't see it coming round
Will i ever know
A brighter future staying here
Will i ever know
All of the promises from years ago
But as we grew we know
They're far from here
Will we ever know
A brighter future
Or see a 1,000 points of light
Just all the talking of politicians
Who never seem to get it right
Will i ever know
A brighter future staying here
Will i ever know
All of the promises from years ago
But as we grew we knew
It's far from here
Far from here . . .
Sometimes i get so wound up
I want to take my mind
I want to get away
But everywhere i look
I know it's the same as yesterday
Will we ever know
A brighter future?
