Song for the Next Generation
Words and Music by Donna Henschell, 2001
The next generation's gonna sing a song
Hope we're not ashamed to hear it
The next generation's gonna have its own rhythm
Hope we can clap along
Hope the song they sing is brighter than
All the songs we've sung
And the torch that we carry
Is worth passing on.
Sorry dear children
For all we've handed down
I hope you learn from our mistakes
And turn this world around
I hope the generations
That follow in your shoes
Will sing about the good times
And never learn the blues.
The next generation gotta clean the mess
The one that we are making
The next generation gonna do its best
With what we have done
I wish we'd open up our eyes
And see where we went wrong
Cuz it's our responsibility
To pass the torch along!!!
Sorry dear children
For all we've handed down
I hope you learn from our mistakes
And turn this world around
I hope the generations
That follow in your shoes
Will sing about the good times
And never learn the blues.
