Out of the ruins Out from the wreckage Can't make the same mistake this time We are the children The last generation We are the ones they left behind And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it Living under the fear till nothing else remains We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond the thunderdome Looking for something we can rely on There's got to be something better out there Love and compassion, their day is coming All else are castles built in the air And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it Living under the fear till nothing else remains All the children say We don't need another hero We don't need to know the way home All we want is life beyond the thunderdome So what do we do with our lives We leave only a mark Will our story shine like a life Or end in the dark Is it all or nothing
