The night is so wild Downstairs the child is sleeping, her spirit is free For more than an hour I have walked in the rain I've been wondering what she will be
But where are the heroes, where are the dreams that I had When I was young? Am I hoping in vain, just to think she could change anything? Well I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you To bring that sweet gentleness to your world and all that you do My generation is losing its way, we don't know what we're leaving for you So may there be millions who feel like you do, oh my love
There is so much to know There is so far to go But you are not alone When this is your world and I'm counting on you
Come to me, turn to me Give me your eyes when you see The mysteries of time Here there are those who just live in the past, they will never let history lie
And this sad little island is breaking my heart with its dark Shades of green And as hard as I try I just cannot see why this should be Ohh, I'm counting on you
There is so much to know (Much to know) There is so far to go (Far to go) But you are not alone (Not alone) When this is your world and I'm counting on you
