Lyric Maybe in a Million Years

by Dean Friedman

Urchins and ragamuffins, see how they play.
Run through the ruins where the land mines lay.
When will this nightmare cease? When will we find a lasting peace?

Maybe in a million years. Maybe in a million years.
Maybe in a million years. Maybe in a million years.
Maybe in a million years. We will overcome our fears.
We ll have shed a billion tears.

Satellite dishes sweeping the sky.
Searching for answers patiently awaiting their reply.
When will salvation come? When will all suffering be done?

Maybe in a million years. Maybe in a million years.
Maybe in a million years. Maybe in a million years.
Maybe in a million years. We will overcome our fears.
We ll have shed a billion tears.

Mountains and valleys, rivers and seas.
Eons go by as they change by gradual degrees.
If Earth can evolve into something new, maybe there s hope for mankind too.

Maybe in a million years. Maybe in a million years.
Maybe in a million years. Maybe in a million years.
Maybe in a million years. We will overcome our fears.
We ll have shed a billion tears.
