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 thousand 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?
