The night is so wild, and downstairs the child is sleeping. Her spirit is
free.
For more than an hour, I have walked in the rain, I've been wondering what
she will be.
But where are the heroes, where are the ones that I loved when I was young.
Am I hoping in vain, just to think she could change anything ?

I'm counting on you.

I'm counting on you
To bring that sweet gentleness in your world and in all what you do.
My generation is losing its way. We don't know what we're leaving for you.
So may there be millions who think like you do, o my love.

There is so much to know.
There is so far to go.
But you are not alone
When this is your world.
And I'm counting on you.

Come to me, talk to me, give me your hands when you see the mysteries of
time.
Here there are those who just live in the past, they will never let History
lie.
And this sad little island is breaking my heart with its dark shade of green.
And as hard as I try, I just cannot see why this should be.

I'm counting on you.

There is so much to know.
There is so far to go.
But you are not alone
When this is your world.
And I'm counting on you.

I'm counting on you.
I'm counting on you.
