I'm not the one
who made the world
what it is today
I'm not the one
who caused the problems
started long ago
But now I deal with all the
consequence that troubles
our times
I carry on and never once have
even questioned why
I'm innocent
But the weight of the world is
on my shoulders
I'm innocent
But the battles started are
far from over
We're not the ones
who leave the homeless
in the streets at night
We're not the ones
who've kept minorities
and women down
Still we grow and then the
problems they become our own
We carry on without even
realizing why
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is
on our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are
far from over
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is
on our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are
far from over
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is
on our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are
far from over
We're not the ones
whose pollution
blackened our skies
And ruined our streams
We're not the ones
who made the nuclear bombs
That threaten our lives
We're not the ones
who let the children starve
in faraway lands
We're not the ones
who made the streets
unsafe to walk at night
And even if we try and not
become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution
to the plight we see
Still our descendants will
inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as
we and never wonder why
