Keep It Dark Lyrics

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

I can hear the marching feet

They're moving into the street

Now did you read the news today

They say the danger's gone away

But I can see the fire's still alight

Burning into the night

Too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And there's not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is the land of confusion

This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make is a place worth living in

Oh Superman where are you now

Everything's gone wrong somehow

The men of steel, men of power

Are losing control by the hour

This is the time

This is the place

So we look for the future

But there's not much love to go round

Tell me why, this is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make is a place worth living in

I remember long ago -

When the sun was shining

The stars were bright

All through the night

And the sound of your laughter

As I held you tight

So long ago -

I won't be coming home tonight

My generation will put it right

We're not just making promises

That we know, we'll never keep

Too many men

Too many people

Making too many problems

And there's not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in

These are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make is a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live in

And these are the names we're given

Stand up and let's start showing

Just where our lives are going to
