"First In Line" lyrics

Once again we behold the future behind a cloud
It scares you
Drawn as a beauty, stained with tainted paint
Once born is the last of us and the skies are fawn
Lead me
Into the brightest light, never-ending dawn
We've built us a wonder, gone through amazing days
In hindsight
Cloudy ahead, the sky's always clear behind

We shall not scare the children
Cast our phobias atop their joy of life

Every generation's every book
Every page is getting drawn on, burned
But we can save this world if we move a tad slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
Is how we buy ourselves out of time
We learn or the world will burn

Hope the future is built on maybe albeit the whitest of lies
White lies
They have a value, serving a purpose
When we guide our children, the future's a blinding light
You can lean on
Then hope one day you'll live in the lighthouse

We shall not scare the children
Cast our phobias atop their joy of life

Every generation's every book
Every page is getting drawn on, burned
But we can save this world if we move a tad slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
Is how we buy ourselves out of time
We learn or the world will burn

We fling rocks into the dark
In hopes they hit a mark
One day you'll know this blindness
The views and fears of the unknown
We hide what we don't know
But we should not tell you, there's a party in the black hole

Yet we don't know

Every generation's every book
Every page is getting drawn on, burned
But we can save this world if we move a tad slower
Every open window, we are handing to a child
Is how we buy ourselves out of time
We learn or the world keeps burning

Every generation has a purpose
In the circle getting drawn on, hurt
Yet we can save this world if we move on slower
In lack of a silver spoon, maybe we should solve the problems
Now we're the first in line
This world like a clock we've left unwind
