Love In The Future

I cannot bathe you in a river gone black

I cannot hold you in a poison rain

If I can't see you through the air that we breathe

What will love in the future be?

I wanna watch my children laugh as they run

I wanna hold their children on my knee

And tell them stories of a vanishing sun

Of how it used to be

In my lover's life I want to share

I want to see the world now through her eyes

And about everything she sees, I care

The time has come to rise

I cannot bathe you in a river gone black

I cannot hold you in a poison rain

If I can't see you through the air that we breathe

What will love in the future be?

Will we make it a different story?

Is there love in the future for you and me?

We're looking for answers in outer space

When will we discover the earth is a sacred place?
