Lights For Our Fathers Lyrics

Where have I been running all my life
Feel like I've been running all my life
I'm tired, I'm so tired of those Chasing Cars and Paris Trains
Those aeroplanes and a world that just won't sleep these days

I think of the lights tonight that are burning all over the world

Those lights used to go out for our fathers
Now we leave them burning while we sleep
Those lights would go out for our fathers
How much will we leave for our sons and our daughters

Maybe just a little sacrifice
Maybe just a little sacrifice
It's time to leave behind the shades of grey and motorways
This modern age and a world that just won't sleep

I think of the lights tonight that are burning all over the world

Those lights used to go out for our fathers
Now we leave them burning while we sleep
Those lights would go out for our fathers
How much will we leave for our sons and our daughters

Those lights used to go out for our fathers (not for our sons)
Now we leave them burning while we sleep
Those lights used to go out for our fathers (not for our sons)
How much will we leave

Those lights used to go out for our fathers (not for our sons)
Now we leave them burning while we sleep
Those lights used to go out for our fathers (not for our sons)
How much will we leave for our sons and our daughters?
