I'm Counting On You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The night is so wild
And 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 will she be?
But 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 you
I'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 to feel like you do
Oh, my love
There 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 you
I'm counting on you
Come 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 lie
And this sad little island
Is breaking my heart with it's dark
Shades of green
And as hard as I try
I just cannot see why this should be
There 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 you
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
