[lyrics by Harry Conklin] All the years, fears and tears from the past Lessons for all to learn Clinging to life, how long will it all last? As long as there is fire we'll burn There's a hole in this world A hole in the soul of mankind The whole of this world Is pulling down and leaving waste behind Tell me, son, is the street where you call home? Will a weapon calm your nerves? Is your mother crying for a fix While your father lays in the curb? We must be brave And make another way Culminate all the forces of this life Hold them deep inside Till one day time comes for its release Time will change for you and I Fill the hole in this world Block the hole in the soul of mankind The whole of this world Must be strong and change for all time
