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 she will 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
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 Oh, I'm counting on you
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
