I'm Counting On You

The night is so wild

And 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 will she 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 to 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

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 it's dark

Shades of green

And as hard as I try

I just cannot see why this should be

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

I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you
