Every generation takes a stand Make a change every way they can Though the past keeps holding on It's like holding sand Every night when the sun goes down The stars fall to our hearts aloud Make a wish then turn around You gotta face the crowd Do you believe that we can survive? Take a picture standing side by side Before I leave this life behind I wanna see peace in our time ♪ You can look in a stranger's eyes Tell your story, tell no lies When you reach out with your heart You touch the skies Plant a seed in the concrete streets Watch it grow in the summer heat As you dance every night away You can change the beat Do you believe that we can survive? Take a picture standing side by side Before I leave this life behind I wanna see peace in our time ♪ If you believe that the time has come That this crazy world can live as one Open your heart and open your mind If you wanna see peace in our time
