As the days go by, The sun goes down The city sleeps and the pendulum swings Left and right Like the morning light, Rises from the dark Together with the next generation! How will they remember us In a negative way, With a lot of disgust How will they talk about us In a positive way, with a smile on their face They are the next generation Who represent us in the future They are the next generation Who will take lessons from the past They are the next generation Who represent us in the future They are the next generation Who will take lessons from the past Making decisions, think twice before you act Time is running, there's no turning back And when you're caught within the in between Just remember what we've told These words are gold They are the next generation Who represent us in the future They are the next generation Who will take lessons from the past They are the next generation Who represent us in the future They are the next generation Who will take lessons from the past Making sure they won't cope life With the faults and the failures we've made Bewaring them for the traps in their lives Our faults!, Our failures! They are, they are, The next generation They are, they are... They are, they are, The next generation You are, you are, The future The Future!
