Where are
The sunny days
The blue skies
The flowers for the children
The colors for their eyes?

Don't you see
Don't you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply

It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes

Where are
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
Birds to sing for daybreak?
Where are all the trees?

Don't you see
Don't you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply

It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes

Where are all the grassy hilltops
Clean air to breathe
Pure water to drink of
Beautiful sights to see?

Don't you see
Don't you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply

It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes

Or there'll be no more you
There'll be no more me
There'll be no more children
All we know will cease to be

Don't you see
Don't you see
The things of this earth
Keep us alive

It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes

Where are the sunny days?
Blue skies
The flowers for the children
All the colors for their eyes
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
All the birds to sing for daybreak
Where are
Where are
Where are all the trees?

Don't you see
All these things they come in short supply
It's time that we
Make a space inside our hearts
And open our eyes

Tracy Chapman - Our Bright Future (2008)

To my father what of your sons?

All of your children

Even the ones

Sent out to martyr

To face the gun

Precious bodies opposed to bombs

Led on led on

To take the path

Where our bright future

Is in our past

To our father what of reason?

Say what you will

Believe what you want

The record shows what we are not

Our true desires

Not our good thoughts

Led on led on

To take the path

Where our bright future

Is in our past

To my father what have you done?

To the children

Born innocent

But come to ham

For dreams of glory

And just a line in history

Led on led on

To take the path

Where our bright future

Is in our past

To our father what good may come?

To let the children

Walk alone

To fear to fail

And need no savior

To be at peace in our true nature

Led on led on

Clear the path

So our bright future

May come to pass

May come to pass

May come to pass
