I know you live on my street
I sometimes wonder
why we don`t meet
I`ve seen your face in the sky
twenty-five stories high
you never come down to earth
communication (communication)
could hardly be much worse
don`t keep me here in the dark
I want to be your friend
your fears are way off the mark
every generation
sees it their own way
never learning their lessons
making the same mistakes again
it`s not the same for us - as history fades away
it`s not the same for us - you must hear me when I say
look out on this brave new land
think of the future
the future that lays in our hands
our leaders live in the past
we can change it
there`s something to hope for at last
every generation
sees it their own way
why don`t we learn our lessons
don`t make the same mistakes again
(Chorus)
what dreams are you chasing now?
what are you living for?
the problems that we`re facing now
nobody faced before
please don`t reject me
in anger or in sorrow
you`ve got to accept me
if we`re to make a better tomorrow
it`s not the same - it`s not the same for us
