But now I deal with all the consequence that troubles our times
We‘re not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night

We‘re innocent
But the battles started are far from over
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
And ruined our streams
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
We‘re not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
They‘ll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why
We‘re not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We‘re innocent
I‘m innocent

Still we grow and then the problems they become our own
That threaten our lives
And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
We‘re not the ones who‘ve kept minorities and women down

Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today
But the battles left us are far from over
I‘m innocent

We‘re not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night

We‘re not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies
We carry on without even realizing why

But the weight of the world is on my shoulders
