[Verse 1]
I walked these streets when they were alive
Now they echo like a hollow hive
Shadows stretch where dreams once stood
World so different from my childhood
[Prechorus]
I see your faces bright and young
But the weight of time
It’s just begun
[Chorus]
Oh
My children
Can you see
This world ain't what it used to be
I fear for you
I hope for you
The future's haze
What will you do
[Verse 2]
You ask me why I’m always torn
Between the past and what's been born
The markets roar
The screens
They shine
But the soul’s been traded line by line
[Prechorus]
I see you running
Reaching far
But will you know just who you are
[Chorus]
Oh
My children
Can you see
This world ain't what it used to be
I fear for you
I hope for you
The future's haze
What will you do
