Lyrics
The signs are obvious, they are everywhere

All that we hear about is the gloom and despair

Too many would-be prophets saying "It's the end of it all"

'Cause mother earth can't take much more

The hammer's gonna fall

So nature has its needs, that's a lesson learned

But it appears to me there are greater concerns

'Cause we can save the planet

But father time is calling us

To save somebody's life

Chorus

So I won't bend and I won't break

And I won't water down my faith

I won't compromise in a world of depression

What has been I cannot change

But for tomorrow and today

I must be a light for future generations

If we can find a way to preserve our faith

So those who follow us

See the price that was paid

Then maybe when they question

What it's gonna take to survive

They'll find the strength to carry on

In what we leave behind

Chorus

Lookin' in the eyes of the children

Knowing that tomorrow is at stake

When the choice is up to them

Will they have the strength to say

Chorus (x2)

We won't bend and we won't break

We won't water down our faith

We won't compromise in a world of depression

What has been we cannot change

For tomorrow and today

We must be a light for future generations
