I’m Counting on You

[Verse 1]

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 and where are the dreams

That I had when I was young?

Am I hoping in vain just to think she could change anything?

[Chorus]

Well, I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you to bring that sweet gentleness

To your world and all that you do

[Verse 2]

My generation is losing its way

We don't know what we're leaving for you

So may there be millions who feel like you do

Oh, my love

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Come to me, turn to me, give me your eyes

And you'll 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 its dark shades of green

But as hard as I try, I just cannot see why this should be

Oh

I'm counting on you

[Chorus]

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

Woah, oh
