I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
But now I deal with
all the consequences that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
I'm innocent
But the
wieght of the world is on my shoulders
I'm innocent
But the battles started are far from over
We're not the ones who
leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
Still we grow and then the
problems they become our own
We carry on without even realizing why
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on
our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over
We're not the ones whose pollution balcked our
skies
And ruined the streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
That threaten our lives
We're not the ones
who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
And even if
we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendents will inherit
our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why
