After Us (feat. Pascal Vanier, Alex O'Brien, Francois Graiouf & Mike Patterson)

I look out of my window
And there's a hurricane outside
One time I felt the promise
Of rainbow covered skies
And now I see the fire (fire)
Of a dream that's burning bust
And I can only wonder
Wonder, what comes after us?

After us, after us
May there be more words to trust
May there be more hands to hold
May peace grow to be old
After us, after us
May we raise dreams from the dust
May there be more love to find
May we leave the war behind
After us

In this wide world of wonder
We struggle to hang on
Glimpsing into beauty
Smiling, and then it's gone
Taking all for granted
And lying silent as it falls
Forever fighting darkness
And forever building walls

I think it's getting better
Oh I think it's getting better
And then the darkness calls
I think it's getting better
I think it's getting better
And then our compass stalls

After us, after us
May there be more words to trust
May there be more hands to hold
May peace grow to be old
After us, after us
May we raise dreams from the dust
May there be more love to find
And may we leave the war behind
After us
