One Hundred Years From Now Lyrics - One Hundred Years From Now - Dennis Deyoung

Tell me, how do we begin this tragic tale 

When centuries of fear and hate have left a bloody trail? 

And will there come a time we'll live to see 

The sins of our fathers and mothers will cease to be? 

And can we find a way to live and let live 

When we know the hardest part is learning to forgive? 

And who will be the first and who will be last 

To admit that the future can never be lived in the past? 

So pray tonight, pray we must 

But prayers alone cannot build the trust 

For all those people whose 

Vengeance is their vow 

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth 

Who among us will speak the truth? 

So our children's children 

Will live in peace somehow 

One hundred years from now 

And how do we repair the damage done? 

To all of those who've known the loss 

Of daughters and of sons 

And can we really feel another's pain? 

While the killing continues 

From Adam and Abel to Cain 

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth 

Who among us will speak the truth? 

So our children's children 

Will live in peace somehow 

One hundred years from now 

So pray tonight, we kill the beast 

That lives among us from west to east 

And to all those people whose 

Vengeance is their vow 

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth 

Who among us will speak the truth? 

So our children's children 

Will live in peace somehow 

One hundred years from now 

One hundred years from now
