Lyrics
I wish that I could fly far away
To another land where there's no pain and suffering
But I know that's not possible for me
Yes I know that's not possible for me
Everywhere I fly people hurt
All losing their minds because they have no empathy
But I hope there's a future past today
Yes I hope there's a future past today
People shouting, people cry
People judging, people die
People falling at the hand of devil forces in these lands
People stupid, people strange
People killing within range
People falling at the hand of devil forces in these lands
And, oh, the misery
And all the criminals run free
Oh, the misery
And all the criminals run free
But I hope there's a future past these times
Yes I hope there's a future past these times
