For All Mankind

My childhood wasn't what you might call a success
I was born in northern england in a time of strife and stress
The war was over and somebody said we'd won
But i was too young to know all the damage that was done
Now looking back there are things that i recall
I was frightened of the dark when i was small
They said it's over now at last
Think of the future not the past

And we will try to build a new and better life
Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind
Yes we will try, now until the end of time
For the sake of you and i and all mankind

Sometimes i think of all the prizes we have won
But we are no richer now than before when we had none
I look around and i see ashes everywhere
But the madness still goes on, doesn't anybody care
Though on reflection there are words that i still hear
Could it be that someone somewhere is sincere
No matter what the price may be
We must believe in sanity

And we will try to build a new and better life
Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind
Yes we will try now until the end of time
For the sake of you and i and all mankind
