lyrics

The future holds a place for me
Beyond the land
Beyond all space and time
I am a seed
The spirit of a tree
And here is where my tree will be
Right here is where I need to reach up towards the sky
The time is near, the hope is there
For I am me and I will rise up from the flames
Stand in my path if you dare
Stand in my path but be aware
I’ll forge a path that leads to the ‘I’ inside of me

The future holds a place for all
The down-trodden
To those standing over young and frail
From any height you can always fall
With no inner strength the fallen crawl
How many of you have yet to fall from grace
The world has suffered humanity’s disgrace
Yet the answer lies with you, me and everybody else
We only progress at a very slow pace
The pain of progress engraves in our faces
The good in Man, leaving no trace
