0:07My childhood wasn't what you might call a success
0:13I was born in northern England in a time of strife and stress
0:21The war was over and somebody said we'd won
0:27But I was too young to know all the damage that was done
0:35Now looking back there are things that I recall
0:41I was frightened of the dark when I was small
0:49They said it's over now at last
0:55Think of the future not the past
1:01And we will try To build a new and better life
1:08Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind
1:13Yes we will strive Now until the end of time
1:21For the sake of you and I
1:23And all mankind
1:40Sometimes I think of all the prizes we have won
1:45But we are no richer now than before when we had none
1:52I look around and I see ashes everywhere
1:58Yet the madness still goes on Doesn't anybody care
2:05Though on reflection there are words that I still hear
2:10Could it be that someone somewhere is sincere
2:17No matter what the price may be
2:24We must believe in sanity
2:29And we will try To build a new and better life
2:36Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind
2:42Yes we will strive Now until the end of time
2:48For the sake of you and I
2:51And all mankind
My childhood wasn't what you might call a success I was born in northern England in a time of strife and stress The war was over and somebody said we'd won But I was too young to know all the damage that was done Now looking back there are things that I recall I was frightened of the dark when I was small They said it's over now at last Think of the future not the past And we will try To build a new and better life Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind Yes we will strive Now until the end of time For the sake of you and I And all mankind Sometimes I think of all the prizes we have won But we are no richer now than before when we had none I look around and I see ashes everywhere Yet the madness still goes on Doesn't anybody care Though on reflection there are words that I still hear Could it be that someone somewhere is sincere No matter what the price may be We must believe in sanity And we will try To build a new and better life Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind Yes we will strive Now until the end of time For the sake of you and I And all mankind
