lyrics

Maybe when you're old enough
To understand these words
Maybe we'll have
Sort of saved the earth.
They say my generation
Is the last that can do anything
Substantial
So I guess I'm the in between
Of you and something better.

Maybe when your old enough
To be in school
I won't have to pray
Every day that you come home
Things have only gotten worse
Our trajectory seems to not be changing
There is still so much to tear down
Between you and something better

I want you to know a world of justice
A world free from our prejudice
I want you to have air to breath
And soil to seed

I've asked myself if it was selfish
Knowing the condition
That we are in.
If it was right to bring you
Into this world.

The light that you are to me
Shines so bright through the dark
You are the little bit of hope
That I have left in me.

And I am so sorry
If what I do was not enough
If you don't get something better
Because that's what you deserve

You deserve so much more
Than this desecrated creation
You deserve so much more
Than what we've made for you

I want you to be
So much more
Than what we've become

But it starts with me
I'm the in between
