The signs are obvious, they are everywhere
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
Too many would be prophets saying
"Itâ??s the end of it all"
â??Cause mother earth canâ??t take much more
The hammerâ??s gonna fall

So nature has its needs, thatâ??s a lesson learned
But it appears to me there are greater concerns
â??Cause we can save the planet
Thinkinâ?? we will somehow survive
But father time is calling us
To save somebodyâ??s life

Chorus:
So I wonâ??t bend and I wonâ??t break
I wonâ??t water down my faith
I wonâ??t compromise in a world of desperation
What has been I cannot change
But for tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations

If we could find a way to preserve our faith
So those who follow us
See the price that was paid
Then maybe when they question
What itâ??s gonna take to survive
Theyâ??ll find the strength to carry on
In what we leave behind

So I wonâ??t bend and I wonâ??t break
I wonâ??t water down my faith
I wonâ??t compromise in a world of desperation
What has been I cannot change
But for tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations

Lookinâ?? in the eyes of the children
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
When the choice is up to them
Will they have the strength to say

We wonâ??t bend and we wonâ??t break
we wonâ??t water down our faith
We wonâ??t compromise in a world of desperation
What has been we cannot change
But for tomorrow and today
We must be a light for future generations

We wonâ??t bend and we wonâ??t break
we wonâ??t water down our faith
We wonâ??t compromise in a world of desperation
What has been we cannot change
But for tomorrow and today
We must be a light for future generations
