I'm Counting on You

The night is so wild
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 beBut where are the heroes, where are the dreams that I had
When I was young?
Am I hoping in vain, just to think she could change anything?
Well I'm counting on youI'm counting on you
To bring that sweet gentleness to your world and all that you do
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 loveThere 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 youCome to me, turn to me
Give me your eyes when you see
The mysteries of time
Here there are those who just live in the past, they will never let history lieAnd this sad little island is breaking my heart with its dark
Shades of green
And as hard as I try I just cannot see why this should be
Ohh, I'm counting on youThere is so much to know
(Much to know)
There is so far to go
(Far to go)
But you are not alone
(Not alone)
When this is your world and I'm counting on you
(You)
I'm counting on you
(You)
I'm counting on you
(You)
Ohh ohh
