For All Mankind

1st verse

My childhood wasn't what you might call a success

I was born in northern England in a time of strife and stress

The war was over and somebody said we'd won

But I was too young to know all the damage that was done

Now looking back, there are things that I recall

I was frightened of the dark when I was small

They said it's over now at last

Think of the future not the past

Chorus

And we will try, To build a new and better life

Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind

Yes we will strive, Now until the end of time

For the sake of you and I

And all mankind

2nd verse

Sometimes I think of all the prizes we have won

But we are no richer now than before when we had none

I look around and I see ashes everywhere

Yet the madness still goes on, Doesn't anybody care

Though, on reflection, there are words that I still hear

Could it be that someone somewhere is sincere

No matter what the price may be

We must believe in sanity

Chorus
